HOUSTON, Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE:KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR"), a Bitcoin+ Treasury company that builds a portfolio of frontier high-performance energy systems for cross-industry applications, today announced it will serve as a Sponsor of Reuters Energy Live 2025 and CTO Dr. William Walker will deliver a presentation on the Company's next-generation Battery Backup Units (BBUs) titled, "Re-Shaping Backup Power: Inside the KULR ONE^® MAX ORV3 Architecture for Safe, High-Performance 21700-Based BBU Systems" on Wednesday, December 10th at 10:40 AM CT.

"AI server racks are evolving toward integrated battery backup as a standard requirement - not an accessory. BBUs are becoming a key part of the core power architecture as it solves two macro bottlenecks: AI power instability and grid reliability - making it indispensable as compute scales," said Michael Mo, CEO of KULR. "Reuters Energy Live is the ideal venue to demonstrate how the KULR ONE^® MAX ORV3 architecture with its integrated safety designs can enable the next chapter of data-center electrification. It positions KULR upstream in the AI build-out and creates long-term strategic lock-in with AI server manufacturers and cloud service platforms."

During the session, KULR will introduce the KULR ONE^® MAX, an ORV3-based reference design engineered to help AI-scale data centers transition from legacy BBU architectures to safe, certifiable, high-power lithium-ion systems built on the widely adopted 21700 cell platform.

Demonstrating Safety-by-Design for the AI Power Era

The KULR ONE^® MAX brings together advanced cell screening, pack engineering, thermal-propagation resistance, and UL 9540/9540A qualification within a vertically integrated workflow -- demonstrating how safety can be embedded into the earliest stages of BBU design rather than treated as a late-stage certification hurdle.

"Abuse testing in prototype units of the KULR ONE^® MAX (K1M) architecture have successfully prevented thermal runaway propagation in 8 of 8 performed tests to date," added Peter Hughes, Vice President of Engineering at KULR. "The K1M shares similar features to the KULR ONE^® SPACE (K1S) battery line, reinforcing a cell agnostic, passive propagation resistant (PPR), architecture worthy of future UL9540/9540A certification."

The system's standardized 48V module and scalable architecture offer a repeatable path for OEMs seeking:

Predictable discharge characteristics.
Tray-level parallelization for AI power shelves.
Thermal and electrical stability under high C-rate loads.
Compliance with increasingly stringent UL 9540A safety requirements.

Positioning KULR at the Center of Data-Center Electrification

KULR's presentation will underscore how standardized building blocks like the KULR ONE^® MAX can:

Accelerate deployment cycles for hyperscale and edge data centers.
Reduce risk and cost within CSP BBU development pipelines.
Support global supply chain alignment around U.S.-built critical-power infrastructure.
Enable a shift from reactive safety testing to proactive engineering discipline.

The discussion will also address why tomorrow's BBUs must operate as fully engineered systems, integrating chemistry, electronics, firmware, thermal controls, and compliance, while still delivering the power density and dynamic performance required for high-intensity AI workloads.
