Housed in a tough enclosure, lithium-ion battery technology provides reliable, lightweight and compact energy storage for UPS systems. Cabinet Height: The LG cabinet is 95" (241 cm) tall as shipped. Since the batteries are not installed, the cabinet may be moved laying horizontally. Plan for moving this 225 lb (102 kg) cabinet through doors, onto small lifts, and note ceiling heights where the cabinet(s) will be placed. Remember that conduit will land on top of the conduit box on top of this 100.5" (255 cm) tall cabinet. Commercial/industrial ceiling heights are often 120" (305 cm), but not always. See customer drawing #110000683 for all dimensions and weights. At StorageReview, we are leveraging the Eaton 9PX lithium-ion UPS in a small server room. In the field, this unit would be perfect for a small retail location or perhaps a bank, where the goal is to ensure uptime and resilience for key systems. Depending on the use case, this could be something like point-of-sale and access control systems. Sizing is key, but our little unit can hold up a few servers, storage, and switching in the event of a temporary unplanned outage. This graph is based on actual measured runtime data. All measurements were taken with new, fully charged batteries and a balanced resistive load (PF = 1.0). Actual runtimes may vary from the values of this graph. Actual runtimes are dependent on several v They provide a longer lifespan and higher reliability than sealed LA batteries. LA battery rooms must be kept at a reasonably constant temperature (20 -25°C) to avoid reducing service life or even causing damage. Lithium-Ion UPS Batteries

Lead acid batteries are exothermic on recharge and give out heat when charging as the cells generate heat from the chemical reaction going on inside them. Thermal runway is unlikely in a lead acid battery and the primary flammable material (the plastic case) can be made from flame retardant materials complying to BS6290 Part 4.

Switchgear collects all information about each battery cell and controls all battery module management systems calculating state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH). It also contains a moulded case circuit breaker and a shunt resistor.

The Samsung SDI lithium-ion battery system is specifically approved for use with KOHLER Uninterruptible Power’s KOHLER PW 6000 (60-120 kVA), KOHLER PW 9250DPA, 9500DPA and MF series UPS systems. Samsung SDI is one of the most experienced producers of lithium-ion batteries in the world and has a long record of safely supplying systems for use in critical power systems. Nowadays, UPS batteries are equipped with safety precautions that help to protect it from shorts or battery exposure, so while it's unlikely something will go wrong, you're still dealing with a massive supply of power. If something like the input transformer---which isolates the batteries from the ground reference and prevents voltage from traveling between the DC bus---were removed, there's a chance that a short will occur and carry the current's flow through any conductive material it touches, including humans, which could lead to serious injury or death. You also have to ensure you take good care of the UPS and keep it in a cool, dry environment to prevent accelerated aging which could cause the batteries to leak or explode over time. How does a UPS work?The first point to note is that not all UPS manufacturers offer lithium-ion powered UPS systems. Those that do provide limited offers in their UPS ranges. For example, a UPS manufacturer may offer smaller single-phase UPS up to 2-3kVA with lead acid or lithium-ion battery options. These are specific UPS systems designed to work with the respective battery technology and they are not interchangeable. The reason being the unique charging and management characteristics of each type of battery. Prices will also be different with a 20-30% premium being charged for lithium, whether the UPS is an online, line interactive or standby system. Take time to recharge data and record after a full discharge test. Verify UPS charge limits are programmed correctly. PredictPulse Insight is a cloud-based remote monitoring and predictive analytics service. Like the above, PredictPulse can predict potential failures and allow users to proactively replace the devices and avoid unscheduled downtime. Subscribing to the service means Eaton is keeping an eye on the devices and admins can worry about other things. And if you can schedule downtime, users can save on costs and downtime in the future.
