Lithium-ion batteries have emerged as a viable alternative and a growing number of users are evaluating this technology for UPS applications in mission-critical environments. Despite the lack of operating data available, calendar life testing indicates that lithium-ion batteries can deliver a significantly longer life than lead-acid batteries without an increased risk of failure when capacities fall below 80%. In addition to ensuring safety, lithium-ion battery management systems can help maximize battery life and minimize downtime by enabling continuous monitoring that supports condition-based maintenance.
This whitepaper explores key considerations when deploying lithium-ion batteries, including run times, safety, and monitoring.
