4 FAQs about Cost of a 120kWh Data Center Battery Cabinet for a Communication Equipment Room

Should a data center use a battery system?

In return for this large cost the system has a very long battery run time and has the ability to accept a very large increase in load. The average data center is entitled to a 75% savings in battery life cycle costs. If the battery system could simply be matched to the initial load and then expanded as needed, this cost could be avoided.

Why should you choose a high-density battery cabinet?

OPTIMIZE RUNTIME: Choose high-density battery cabinet for 5-min and 7-min End of Life runtimes, making critical loads resilient and uninterrupted. HIGH PERFORMANCE BATTERIES: Utilize Lithium-Ion modules tested for demanding data center backup and AI compute workloads.

Can a data center save money on battery life cycle costs?

The average data center is entitled to a 75% savings in battery life cycle costs. If the battery system could simply be matched to the initial load and then expanded as needed, this cost could be avoided. See White Paper 37, Avoiding Costs from Oversizing Data Center and Network Room Infrastructure for more information on this subject.
