What is the normal price of batteries in communication network cabinets

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.

How much does a battery cost compared to a flooded solution?

The costs of the batteries are actually less than the infrastructure expenses for a flooded solution. The infrastructure expense for a VRLA solution is less then 70% of the battery cost. The MBC infrastructure costs represent less than 10% of the battery cost.

Can a flooded battery save a data center?

The MBC system is capable of recovering much of the 75% savings in battery life cycle cost that the average data center is entitled to. When this is combined with the lifecycle cost advantage of MBC batteries of nearly a factor of three, a potential savings of over 90% is possible when compared with the flooded cell approach.

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.

Are lead-acid batteries a good choice for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) energy storage?

Lead-acid batteries are the predominant choice for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) energy storage for data centers and network rooms. This white paper will compare the lifecycle costs the three lead-acid battery technologies, vented (flooded, also called wet cells), valve regulated (VRLA), and modular battery cartridges (MBC).

Are MBC batteries better than flooded batteries?

MBC batteries are in cartridges that can be hot-swapped by unskilled personnel. This analysis finds large differences in the life-cycle costs of the different UPS battery technologies. After reviewing all three steps it is clear that a MBC battery solution can offer over 50% savings over VRLA and flooded battery solutions.
