UPS Battery & DC Power Solutions
Choose the Right UPS Battery Backup System
Identifying the correct uninterruptible backup power supply battery is paramount to supporting your critical load during a power quality interruption event. Optimal battery backup systems should be tailored to the specific use case of your business: custom-sized to meet your operating needs and financial goals.
To select the right UPS battery backup system for your critical power requirements, you must consider runtime, upfront costs, maintenance, and TCO.
We understand making this choice is challenging. Our Project Application Engineering Team members are available to assist you in determining the power and performance you need from your battery backup system. Review our uninterruptible power supply batteries below to learn more and pick the best solution for your critical power system.
Lithium-Ion UPS Batteries
Lithium-Ion UPS batteries (LiB) have a long operational design life, small footprint, reduced maintenance and integrated battery management system (BMS).
Lithium-ion battery backup systems offer the advantages of enhanced energy-dense lithium-ion chemistry with superior control and monitoring. With a 15-to-20-year lifespan, lithium-ion battery backup solutions facilitate a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the UPS battery backup system and require significantly less floor space and weight than many other DC solutions.
Lead Acid UPS Batteries
Mitsubishi Electric also offers a full range of VRLA, VLA, and Pure Lead UPS battery backup options from top vendors, allowing you to meet the flexible needs or project requirements for your battery backup systems. Pure Lead UPS batteries offer safe and traditional power dense solutions with design lives ranging from 10-12 years. Advancements in Pure Lead technology include cutting-edge electrolyte catalysts, advanced patented grid designs, and new paste chemistries.
- VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid)
- VLA (vented lead acid) also referred to as wet cells or flooded cells
- Pure Lead
