SBB is a product that integrates a battery and safety device in a 20 foot (ft) container. We have secured the highest level of fire safety in the industry by applying our own impregnated fire extinguishing technology (EDI) and heat spread prevention (No TP) technology to a rectangular battery form factor with excellent durability.

A Samsung SDI official said, “We have secured the best competitiveness in ESS safety technology,” and “we will continue to strengthen our competitiveness in the domestic ESS market based on the advantages of a durable square shape and advanced safety technology.”
