SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — REAL SLX today announced the launch of REAL Meals, a new hunger-relief initiative kicking off with a 1,000,000 meal pledge* in partnership with Feeding America. The 2026 campaign will be co-captained by philanthropists Super Bowl Champion Russell Wilson, and multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning artist Ciara, in an effort to ensure everyone across the United States has access to nutritious food. REAL Meals will officially launch on Saturday, February 7, 2026, during the REAL Power Breakfast. As part of the activation, Wilson and Ciara will serve a limited-edition REAL Meals Smoothie, with 100 meals* donated to Feeding America for each smoothie served.

Hunger remains a significant challenge across the United States. More than 48 million people — including approximately 14 million children — experience food insecurity, underscoring the ongoing need for large-scale, community-driven support. Through its nationwide network of food banks and partner agencies, Feeding America continues to deliver meals to tens of millions of people each year as demand for assistance remains elevated.

“It’s a true honor to be partnering with Feeding America once again, alongside Russell and Ciara” said Kenny Dichter, Founder and Chairman of REAL SLX. “REAL Meals is built around a simple idea – use our platform responsibly, set a clear goal, and turn participation into real support to help people bring home food to their families.”

Feeding America will oversee meal distribution through its trusted national network, ensuring that every donation directly translates into food for people facing hunger. REAL SLX will fund, produce, and execute the initiative, with a model designed to scale beyond a single event.

“When we unite with a shared mission and work together, each donation, each volunteer, each rescued meal brings us closer to our goal of an America where no one is hungry,” said Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, Feeding America chief executive officer. “REAL SLX is a great example of the type of partnership and commitment required.  We are incredibly thankful for Kenny and his team and for Russell and Ciara for joining our cause.”

REAL Meals builds on REAL SLX’s history of impact-driven initiatives and reinforces the belief that when the right partners come together, meaningful outcomes follow.

*$1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America® on behalf of local partner food banks.

DETROIT, Feb. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wanxiang A123 Systems Corp. successfully hosted its global launch event at Wanxiang Innovation Energy City, unveiling a breakthrough energy storage platform designed to address the industry’s most critical challenge: safety. Under the theme “Gathering Stars, Smart Storage Future,” the event marked a decisive shift in energy storage safety—from reactive fire suppression to intrinsic, system-level prevention.

At the event, Wanxiang A123 introduced the Star Series semi-solid-state battery cells and the Star River Series energy storage solutions, representing the world’s first deep integration of semi-solid-state battery technology with immersion cooling. This architecture establishes a new benchmark for thermal safety and system reliability across high-risk applications.

The Star Series cells leverage proprietary technologies to fundamentally resolve electrolyte leakage and instability. In a highly publicized 10-needle puncture test, a 100 Ah semi-solid-state cell remained fully stable, exhibiting no fire, no explosion, and no thermal propagation—a level of intrinsic safety unattainable with conventional liquid lithium-ion batteries.

At the system level, the Star River Series employs full immersion cooling, maintaining cell temperature variance within 2 °C, even under demanding operating conditions. This dual-layer protection—combining material-level stability with active thermal isolation—creates a robust safety barrier against thermal runaway and ensures reliable operation in extreme environments.

Beyond safety, the platform delivers compelling economic performance. The system achieves a cycle life exceeding 10,000 cycles at room temperature, and more than 7,000 cycles at 45 °C, representing a 40% improvement over industry averages. Its superior high-temperature resilience reduces the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) by approximately 15%, offering customers a highly cost-effective, long-term solution.

The Star River Series solution matrix addresses four core application scenarios. For data centers, the platform features an 800 V HVDC architecture capable of serving as a primary power source. Outdoor cabinet solutions are engineered with IP68-rated protection to withstand extreme environmental conditions. For offshore and logistics-constrained applications, modular 5-ft containers enable efficient shipping, while 20-ft container systems integrate multi-stage fire suppression and three-level BMS protection for large-scale deployments.

Further enhancing system intelligence, Wanxiang A123 introduced a Wireless BMS + AI platform incorporating pressure-sensing technology capable of identifying thermal runaway risks up to 10 minutes earlier than conventional monitoring systems. This advancement enables predictive safety management and supports the transition toward unmanned, intelligent energy storage operations.
