Vertiv™ HPL rack-based system delivers seamless integration between batteries, monitoring system and UPS
Vertiv introduced the Vertiv™ HPL lithium-ion battery cabinet, for use with larger capacity Vertiv uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. While Vertiv was an early adopter of lithium-ion batteries for the data center, this marks the first offering with Vertiv’s own battery management system. The cabinet is ready to use with most current and legacy Vertiv three-phase UPS systems and is available in North America and Asia today.
The Vertiv HPL is configured in a cabinet the size of a standard data center rack and ships preassembled with six lithium-ion battery modules. The modular configuration allows for connection of up to eight cabinets to a single UPS in order to customize runtime capacity and redundancy to the application. Vertiv batteries are nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC), a proven chemistry commonly used for the rigorous standards required for the automobile industry.
