LS Materials (CEO Hong Young-ho) announced on the 11th that it has unveiled a new ultracapacitor (UC) system tailored for AI data centers that boasts the industry's longest lifespan. 

"This new product achieves over 6 million charge and discharge cycles, giving it a lifespan approximately six times longer than conventional general-purpose UC products, which only last about 1 million cycles," the company stated. "While general-purpose UCs typically last only about one year in AI data centers, this new system can operate reliably for up to five years or more." 

The product is specifically designed for AI data center environments, with the high-power performance necessary for effectively responding to momentary power peaks. 

The rapid expansion of generative AI has led to a surge in power consumption by GPU servers, with data centers experiencing frequent power peaks where massive amounts of power are drawn in very short intervals. As a result, the demand for capacitor-based power devices capable of stably managing these instantaneous power fluctuations is growing rapidly. 

In response to this rising demand, LS Materials has developed its UC-based power solution from the level of individual cells to a comprehensive module and system. The advanced design improves heat dissipation by more than twofold and reduces internal resistance, ensuring stable power output and highly efficient thermal management, even in high-power environments. 

"Our power devices are both long-lasting and capable of handling momentary power peaks, which are core competitive advantages in the AI data center sector," said Hong Young-ho, CEO of LS Materials. "We are currently engaged in supply discussions with global companies that manufacture server equipment for AI data centers." 

LS Materials plans to officially showcase its new product at InterBattery 2026 and aims to further expand cooperative efforts with its global customer base.
