Vertiv™ has long been a leader in powering data centers with uninterruptible power systems, power distribution units, transfer switches and expert service. Since 1981 we have been monitoring, managing and servicing batteries as part of our power portfolio. It’s our goal to use that vantage point and to share knowledge on important energy storage solutions such as batteries and how they behave.

One alternative is to utilize lithium ion batteries. This paper examines that option and shares a real-world perspective to help data center designers decide if this technology is viable within their data center
