The advanced battery system, having a high power output of 8 C-rate, is designed to support mission-critical facilities, such as data centres, banks, and semi-conductor factories, where providing a seamless switchover to full power backup in the event of a power outage is crucial. The advanced battery system has up to a 46 per cent smaller footprint and is up to 20 per cent lighter compared to the conventional lead-acid battery system. With a simplistic and compact design for convenient maintenance, the new system further decreases the already low total cost of ownership, which is up to 40 per cent less than conventional lead-acid battery systems.
