Comparable to the Tesla 4680 Samsung SDI's new generation of cylindrical batteries has completed trial production

Recently, according to overseas media reports, Samsung SDI has begun trial production of 4080 cylindrical batteries, which have a diameter of 40 mm and a height of 80 mm. Samsung plans to get orders for such batteries from the biggest players in the market, including Tesla and Lucid Electric.

It is reported that the Samsung 4080 battery has entered the final confirmation stage of specifications and will soon be put into mass production at overseas factories in Malaysia and Hungary. It is reported that this battery is not inferior to Tesla's 4680 type battery in performance, with significantly improved energy density and easier to produce. Last February, Samsung SDI and Lucid signed a supply agreement, but this agreement is for the 21700 type of battery, which is also the type of battery that Samsung currently mainly produces. It is expected that due to the successful development and mass production of batteries such as the 4080, in the future the company will be able to compete with Panasonic in the production of the 4680 battery, which will be used in Tesla electric vehicles.
