Datacenter Battery(Nickel-Zinc) Features
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
High-Rate, High-Current Discharge: Supports 3C continuous discharge, enabling the release of extremely high power within a short period. This perfectly matches the instantaneous high-load requirements of data-center UPS systems, ensuring zero-delay power switchover.
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
Ultimate Thermal Stability and Safety: Verified by UL 9540A testing, the battery chemistry is inherently stable. It exhibits no risk of fire or explosion under extreme conditions (such as nail penetration or short circuits), fundamentally addressing fire safety concerns without the need for complex monitoring systems.
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
Wide Temperature Adaptability: Operates reliably from -20°C to 55°C. This high-temperature tolerance reduces the data center’s reliance on precision air conditioning, effectively optimizing the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) index.
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
High Volumetric Energy Density: With a volumetric energy density of 137.4 Wh/L, it is significantly more compact than traditional lead-acid batteries, releasing valuable rack space and increasing power density per unit area.
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
Long-Term Service Life: Features a cycle life of 300+ cycles (at 3C, 100% DOD). Its low self-discharge rate ensures the battery retains over 70% of its charge after 12 months of storage, significantly reducing long-term replacement costs.
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
Eco-Friendly Material System: Utilizing a nickel-zinc chemical structure, the battery contains no lead, cadmium, or other toxic heavy metals. It fully complies with RoHS and the latest EU battery regulations, simplifying the recycling process.

Datacenter Battery(Nickel-Zinc) Comparison
Industrial Battery Backup Systems (Gerchamp Nickel Zinc battery)
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
30-50% Weight Reduction vs. Lead-Acid: Under identical power output conditions, Ni-Zn batteries significantly reduce the physical load on data center floors, allowing for full cabinet installations in multi-story facilities where floor loading is a constraint.
Datacenter Battery (Nickel-Zinc)
Intrinsic Fire Safety vs. Lithium-ion: Unlike lithium-ion alternatives, Ni-Zn’s aqueous electrolyte is non-flammable, naturally preventing the chain reaction of thermal runaway even under mechanical stress or electrical failure.
