LS Materials Unveils Next-Generation Capacitor for AI Data Centers with Industry-Leading Longevity

Product to Be Unveiled at InterBattery 2026

Six Times Longer Lifespan Than General-Purpose Products

Over Five Years of Use in AI Data Centers

On March 11, LS Materials announced that it has unveiled a UC (ultracapacitor) system for AI (artificial intelligence) data centers, boasting industry-leading longevity.

This product features a charge/discharge lifespan of over 6 million cycles, approximately six times longer than conventional general-purpose UC products, which typically last around 1 million cycles. LS Materials' ultracapacitor (also known as a supercapacitor) is a next-generation energy storage device that combines the characteristics of traditional electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries. In AI data center environments, general-purpose UC products often have an operational period of only about one year, but this new product can be used for more than five years. Additionally, it is designed to be suitable for AI data center environments by securing high-output performance capable of responding to instantaneous power peaks.

On the 11th, at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, an LS Materials employee is explaining the UC system for AI data centers during 'InterBattery 2026'. LS Materials.

Recently, with the proliferation of generative AI, the power consumption of GPU (graphics processing unit) servers has surged, leading to frequent power peak phenomena in data centers, where large amounts of electricity are concentrated over short periods. As a result, the importance of capacitor-based power devices that can reliably control sudden power fluctuations has grown.

In response to this demand, LS Materials has expanded its UC-based power solutions from the cell level to module and system stages. By more than doubling heat dissipation performance and implementing a design that reduces internal resistance, the company enables stable output and efficient heat management even in high-power environments.

Hong Youngho, CEO of LS Materials, stated, "In AI data centers, the ability to respond to instantaneous power peaks and the longevity of power devices are key competitive advantages. We are currently in supply negotiations with global companies manufacturing server equipment for AI data centers."

LS Materials plans to showcase this product at 'InterBattery 2026' and expand cooperation with global customers.
