## What Is Battery Degradation?

Battery Degradation refers to the gradual change in battery performance as the battery operates over time. This change is not limited to capacity loss. It may also include changes in power output capability, internal resistance, and charge and discharge performance.

For UPS batteries, batteries typically remain in standby and backup mode for extended periods. During actual operation, they may also be affected by charging and discharging, temperature changes, and other operating conditions. These factors can accumulate over time and gradually affect battery performance.

## Why Does Battery Degradation Matter for Nickel Zinc Battery?

UPS batteries need to provide reliable backup power when it is needed. Therefore, long-term changes in battery performance directly affect their backup capability.

As a battery gradually degrades, its available capacity may decrease, internal resistance may change, and its power output capability may also be affected. For Data Center UPS systems, these changes may further affect battery performance under actual backup time and load conditions.

## How Does Gerchamp Nickel Zinc Battery Address Battery Degradation?

Gerchamp Nickel Zinc Battery is designed for long-term UPS backup power applications. Through battery chemistry, electrode design, and overall battery design, Gerchamp focuses on long-term battery performance under actual operating conditions.

At the same time, BMS can continuously record operating data such as voltage, current, temperature, and SOC, helping track changes in battery condition and identify potential abnormalities that may affect long-term reliability.

Combining battery design with continuous monitoring helps provide better visibility into the operating condition of Gerchamp Nickel Zinc Battery and supports the long-term reliable operation of Data Center UPS systems.
