CBAK Energy Technology Limited DALIAN, China, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CBAK Energy Technology Limited (NASDAQ: CBAT) ("CBAK Energy” or the "Company"), a leading lithium-ion battery manufacturer and electric energy solution provider in China, today previewed its next-generation high-rate lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cylindrical cells for AI data center battery backup unit (BBU) and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications.

The rapid expansion of AI computing, particularly GPU-driven training and inference workloads, is increasing rack-level power density and accelerating transient load fluctuations in data center environments.

At the battery backup unit (BBU) level, the key challenge is maintaining stable voltage under power transients within millisecond-level switching windows, where system stability is highly sensitive to rapid power fluctuations and thermal imbalance.

To address these requirements, the 26650 HP V2.0 and 26650 PFS2 V2.0 cells developed as next-generation high-rate LFP cylindrical cells specifically designed for BBU applications and scalable to broader UPS scenarios.
