Why Choose a Lithium-Ion Battery Backup
Lithium-ion UPS batteries offer a range of benefits that make them an ideal choice over other UPS battery chemistries, such as extended lifespan, increased power density, smaller footprint, and increased cycle life. Lithium battery backup solutions are available in multiple lithium chemistries to support different UPS systems.
The various lithium-ion battery chemistries supply a wide range of power densities, energy ratings, and safety attributes. The differences between each lithium-ion chemistry now allows clients to customize their battery solutions to fit the design requirements and use cases of their UPS battery backup system.
The Basics of a Lithium-Ion Battery
Lithium-ion batteries consist of a cathode (positive electrode), an anode (negative electrode), and some chemistry of electrolyte.
The cathode can be some chemical form of metal oxide and the anode consists of porous carbon (graphite) or lithium titanate.
During discharge, the ions flow from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte and separator.
When the battery charges, the flow reverses and the direction and the ions flow from the cathode to the anode.
Lithium-Ion UPS Batteries Achieve Superior Life Spans
15-20-year design life helps sustain and grow your mission critical needs
It is important to choose not only the best battery for your immediate runtime needs, but also consider the total life span of the lithium-ion battery backup system.
An ideal UPS lithium battery can support critical functions during an outage consistently over a decade (10 years) before a replacement is required. Lithium-ion battery backup solutions offer extended life spans compared to VRLA and Pure Lead batteries - without the price hike you see with 20-year VRLA and wet cell batteries.
Clients searching for reliability and superior life often turn to Mitsubishi Electric lithium-ion UPS battery solutions.
Lithium-Ion UPS Batteries Lower Your Total Cost of Ownership
The extended design life of a lithium battery backup system provides a significant advantage both in realized CAPEX and OPEX costs. Upfront and operational costs must be considered regarding the battery system's life, including replacement costs.
Fewer replacements mean fewer outlays of cash down the road. A Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis shows lithium-ion as a smart and efficient backup power solution over the lifetime of the equipment.
ACHIEVE OPTIMUM POWER DENSITY & SMALLER FOOTPRINT*
With a 40-60% smaller footprint and 60% lower weight, lithium battery backup solutions for UPS systems take up less space that can be leveraged for critical equipment and weigh less in transport.
With lithium-ion UPS backup systems, you don’t have to sacrifice power for floor space. Mitsubishi Electric lithium-ion battery cabinets have a power density that is 4x that of traditional battery solutions.
The high discharge power and small footprint makes lithium battery backup systems a perfect solution for edge data centers, as well as pre-fabricated construction.

Lithium Manganese Oxide/Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide
Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) batteries provide high thermal stability and enhanced safety. LMO has low internal cell resistance that enables fast charging and high-current discharging.
It is typically mixed with Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC), and the NMC improves specific energy and prolongs the life span of the battery. The result is a battery that is power dense, can discharge quickly and safely, and has a relatively long battery life.
We supply two LMO battery backup solutions, the BCL04-CB and BCL04-CBA01. The BCL04-CB is compatible with multiple Mitsubishi Electric UPS, while the BCL04-CBA01 was specifically designed for our 1100B (10-80kVA) UPS.
These lithium-ion battery backups offer a lower environmental footprint and weight compared to VRLA batteries, as well as a 15-year lifespan best-suited for 2-20-minute runtimes.
