Case Study: Helping Data Centers with UPS Power Backup
Our pure lead battery solutions help a Certified Partner meet data center needs for their clients.
Snapshot
Artificial intelligence (AI) strains every part of a data center, including power. Uninterruptible power supply for data centers are an important investment. When data centers go offline, the financial hit can be measured in millions. Data center engineers need dependable, long‑life backup batteries that keep systems running, preventing power outages and costly downtime.
Another issue in data centers is that space is limited. The power backup system must be compact and efficient. That’s how a long-time C&D Technologies Certified Partner has become the "go‑to" for many companies.
Our certified partner delivers durability, performance, and space savings by offering C&D’s Pure Lead Plus and Pure Lead Max battery backup solutions.
Uninterruptible power supply for data centers is critical. UPS power backup is key for several functions. UPS batteries must keep all servers operational, as well as ensure employees’ computers stay powered up, security cameras record, and more. C&D’s Pure Lead UPS batteries deliver time and time again, according to our partner.
The C&D advantage for data center uninterruptible power
C&D designs Pure Lead Plus and Pure Lead Max batteries with innovative technologies, including patented Pure Lead (MSE) technology and optimized grid alloys. Ultra-high purity and tightly controlled active materials made from pure, virgin lead minimize corrosion and provide long-lasting performance.
Pure lead AGM UPS batteries can meet key requirements of modern data centers, including:
Low Float Current Technology. C&D’s Pure Lead Plus and Pure Lead Max have low float currents. This slows grid corrosion and limits water loss typically associated with traditional VRLA batteries.
C&D’s Pure Lead AGM batteries operate at higher temperatures for longer periods, lowering energy consumption. This meets a key need for data center managers. Data centers benefit from UPS batteries that last longer, especially in hot environments. That's a key advantage of the low float current technology in C&D’s pure lead batteries.
Enhanced Return on Investment. High lifetime value is critical for large data centers, like multi-tenant data centers (MTDCs). This is due to the many replacement batteries needed for backup systems.
Pure Lead Plus and Pure Lead Max typically last two years longer than competitive VRLA batteries. As a result, C&D’s solutions usually need replacement only twice over 20 years. This is half as often as other VRLA batteries.
Financial savings go beyond the actual cost of buying additional batteries. Ancillary expenses, like decommissioning, installation, and testing, are also lower. This can reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Longer battery life is partly due to the high-purity grids of the Pure Lead Plus and Pure Lead Max. The active materials in pure lead let C&D closely monitor and control grain size and purity. This reduces side reactions that can cause corrosion.
How 12V batteries support uninterruptible power supply for data centers
The trend toward 12-volt VRLA batteries in the data center market means less space dedicated to backup power. Because 12V batteries offer strong performance, reliability, and stability in a smaller footprint, they fit in compact spaces.
Pure Lead Plus and Pure Lead Max 12V batteries bring the inherent advantages of C&D Pure Lead to lower voltages. The VRLA batteries can reliably operate in the high temperatures of modern data centers.
Service and support for data center UPS power backup
