There are several ways to get rid of diesels - but let's not lose the bigger picture
A UPS is a major investment that must reliably run for years. That’s why lead batteries are the main choice for a number of critical reasons, writes FIAMM’s Nicola Corradin
Battery chemistry can belp you report better and cut your footprint
Li-ion battery recycling hasn't traditionally been a very environmentally friendly or sustainable process. But that's now changing, says Vertiv's Jeff Kessen
Operators still shy away from Li-ion batteries due to safety fears - but they can be made profitable and safe when you make the right choices
Choose your chemistry wisely, to avoid thermal runaway, and get the performance you need
Batteries, hydrogen and solar all have a part to play
To power the data center of the future, we have to change our view and act as energy prosumers
With edge data centers, operators could end up running thousands of sites, and most won't be staffed full-time. Who will be making sure that the UPS remains fully functional?
Zinc batteries are shaking up the data center energy landscape
Edge nodes will make high demands on their backup power. What technologies will make the grade?
Don't be a copy-and-paste designer
If the wind doesn't blow, you may need batteries on site
