Courtesy of LG Energy Solution LG Energy Solution announced on the 23rd that it will unveil its next-generation cylindrical battery, the 46 series, at the country's largest battery exhibition, 'InterBattery 2025,' to be held from 5th to 7th next month at COEX in Gangnam, Seoul.
LG Energy Solution began its research on lithium-ion batteries in 1992. It launched the development of lithium-ion batteries in 1996 and entered into the battery market with the first mass-production of laptop batteries in 1999. Batteries have been adopted for a variety of applications ever since.
LG Energy Solution is currently developing the 46-series, a line larger than the 1865 and 2170 batteries. The 46-series cylindrical battery offers more energy, as it can hold more active materials. In particular, nickel content is being increased for higher density and battery capacity.
In recent years, large format lithium-ion batteries have been developed for applications such as electric vehicles [, , , , ]. Large format cells have a number of advantages over smaller form factors.
LG Energy Solution said the deal has proven the excellence of its proprietary nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM)-based 46-series battery, which outperforms lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in cold temperatures and charging efficiency while also delivering superior energy density.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
