TOKYO, May 12 (Reuters) - Japan's Panasonic Holdings 6752.T said on Tuesday it expected full-year profit at its energy unit, which supplies batteries to Tesla TSLA.O, to more than double, recovering after posting a quarterly loss.

Operating income for the key segment is expected to total 171 billion yen ($1.09 billion) in the year ending March 2027, versus 69.8 billion yen in the year just ended.

The business, which posted a 3.8-billion-yen loss in the January-March quarter, was hit by U.S. tariffs, start-up costs at its Kansas plant and lower sales at a factory in Japan.
