What's new with UPS batteries?

Part one of this three-part webinar series, which is being presented by Digitalzone and sponsored by Eaton, details the evolution from traditional UPS batteries to lithium-ion batteries. Traditional UPS batteries have been around for decades, and because lithium-ion batteries are more expensive, end users have been reluctant to switch to them. However, as technology advanced, lithium-ion UPS systems have outperformed lead-acid batteries after cutting costs.

In an interview with Michael Kreiger, Ed Spears reveals:

• The features of lithium-ion systems
• Customer engagement from 2015 to the present
• The pros and cons of UPS batteries vs. lithium-ion batteries
• The impact of lithium-ion systems on data center planning
• The uptake in lithium-ion battery use from 0% to 60%
