How do I choose the best battery for a data center?

Selecting the most appropriate battery for a data center depends on more than the battery itself and the chemistry it utilizes. The installed location and environment will contribute to battery efficiency. When selecting batteries for mission-critical operations, the choice is not as simple as cost or preference.

Should data center batteries be a backup power source?

Another improvement to data center battery technology could be a combination and the integration of the latest battery technology and the city's electrical grid. One of the main issues with batteries as a backup data center power source is managing the batteries when they're not being used.

What are the best batteries for data centers?

Such innovations may redefine what the best batteries for data centers are. N2116 marks a move towards solid-state batteries, which are safer and more efficient than the lithium-ion batteries used today. These batteries are better for the environment and could make data centers more sustainable and efficient.

How can a battery-based microgrid help a data center?

Larger battery capacities can provide longer autonomies if needed. Autonomous power supply through a battery-based microgrid is the cornerstone of future data center power supply schemes: Saft supports its customers from the idea to the implementation and operation of their energy storage system.
