The technology and materials used to manufacture the batteries essential to the performance of any UPS system continues to evolve.

Whereas lead acid batteries have long been the proven and preferred method of energy storage for uninterruptible power supplies, there are several possible alternatives, including pure lead and lithium-ion.

Developed in partnership with battery manufacturer C&D Technologies, this FREE whitepaper explores the main different types of UPS battery and analyses the relative benefits (and drawbacks) of each technology.

Read the Comparing Different Types Of UPS Batteries (Lead Acid, Pure Lead & Li-Ion) whitepaper to learn about:

• The background to UPS batteries
• The evolution from VLA to VRLA lead acid batteries
• The concepts of pure lead AGM and advanced pure lead UPS batteries
• The use of lithium-ion batteries with UPS systems
• The pros and cons of the various technologies

It also includes a handy quick comparison table covering aspects such as design life, service life, temperature tolerance, maintenance requirement, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
