UPS with Lithium-Ion batteries offer power protection to critical equipment in edge, distributed IT applications and data centers. They last 2-3 times longer than those with lead-acid batteries, resulting in fewer battery replacements and lower labor costs. With smaller size and lower weight, lithium-ion batteries for UPS systems save space, improve location flexibility and address limited floor weight thresholds.

Q1. Are there different types of lithium-ion batteries?
A1. Yes. There are lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium ion manganese oxide (LMO) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) chemistries to name a few. Our designers favor NMC and LFP, given their performance and safety parameters. These are the same technologies used by major automotive manufacturers in their electric cars.
