New from CertaUPS is a range of Li-ion UPS models.
Available as a 1U, 1000VA and a 2U 1000VA to 3000VA, they are said to be ideal for server racks where space is at a premium.
The company says they provide complete resilience for sensitive loads and benefit from a hot swappable battery design so that engineering work can be carried out without powering off.
Taking up less space than conventional UPS products, CertaUPS says that when comparing like for like on battery runtime, its new models offer three times the energy density and double the expected design life compared to traditional VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries.
They include operational features such as programmable outlets, allocating less essential load to the critical load in an external mains outage.
CertaUPS says that although Li-ion has a higher initial cost, when considering the long-term total cost of ownership, the new products tick all the boxes from design to reliability.
They are smaller, lighter, offer longer life, improved power density and require much less maintenance.
