LG Energy Solution will unveil a new lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP) product that significantly increases energy capacity and usage duration for use in power grids in Europe.
LG Energy Solution noted that it will participate in 'Interbattery Europe 2025,' held from the 7th to the 9th in Munich, Germany, where it will first introduce an energy storage system (ESS) product equipped with European-made LFP cells.
Interbattery Europe is one of the exhibitions within Europe’s largest energy industry showcase, 'The Smarter E Europe,' marking its third edition this year.
The new product that LG Energy Solution will unveil at this event features a stack structure that combines three modules into one pack, minimizing the gaps between packs when configuring racks. This enables more packs to be loaded into the limited space of a container, increasing energy density. In particular, each module is equipped with a cooling plate through which coolant flows for thermal management, enhancing both the efficiency and safety of the battery.
This product will utilize the latest ESS-specific LFP cell, JF2S, which will be produced at the factory in Wrocław, Poland. The JF2S cell boasts an energy capacity improved by approximately 2.7 times compared to the JF1 and features a long lifespan of about 15,000 cycles, distinguishing it with competitive advantages in performance and safety.
LG Energy Solution will also introduce the dwelling-oriented ESS product 'JF1R' targeting the European market. Local production ensures quick delivery and a stable supply, characterized by competitiveness that meets European Union (EU) quality standards. Installation is convenient, allowing a single technician to set it up within 10 minutes without the need for additional bolt fastening.
LG Energy Solution will also debut the pilot version of its battery passport system at this event. The battery passport is a system that digitalizes and manages key information throughout the lifecycle of a battery, including performance, chemical composition, and carbon footprint, from production to disposal. Based on the pilot version, the company plans to develop and operate its own battery regulation management (BRM) system.
Kim Hyeong-sik, head of the ESS battery division at LG Energy Solution, said, 'We are proactively responding to customer demand based on a local production system in the rapidly expanding European market,' adding, 'We will thoroughly respond to the changing policy environment and provide integrated solutions to solidify our ESS leadership in Europe.'
