Robot types: Battery energy storage system. Risk band: Low RobotRisk index 13.6/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 5 of 7 among Energy storage companies with incidents (682 tracked).
Analyst brief
Samsung SDI's record holds one entry: an October 2019 government-led investigation in South Korea into SDI batteries implicated in energy storage system fires, severity 3. This is a regulatory-driven record, not a press account of a discrete accident, reflecting a probe rather than a confirmed single-battery failure. The single-row record shows no trajectory; it captures a one-time regulatory episode.
