[Concall] Samsung SDI "Discussing supply of cylindrical 46mm batteries with multiple automakers"

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] Samsung SDI announced that it is in discussions to supply cylindrical 46-pi (46mm diameter) batteries to multiple customers.

During the Q2 earnings conference call on the 29th, the company stated, "Discussions are underway with several automakers to supply next-generation cylindrical 46-pi batteries," adding, "We are preparing to launch 46-pi products that enhance industry-leading capacity, lifespan, and fast-charging performance based on our 'High-Nickel NCA (Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum) battery' technology." High-nickel batteries refer to batteries with a nickel content of over 80%.

It continued, "The 46-pi battery has an increased diameter and height compared to existing cylindrical batteries, boosting capacity by 5 times and output by more than 6 times, and cost reduction is possible through standardized specifications. Currently, equipment investment for mass production of 46-pi batteries is underway at the Cheonan plant, which will further strengthen the lineup of batteries for electric vehicles," it added.
