In applications such as data centers, communication base stations, and industrial energy storage that require high power stability, the 48V Server Rack Battery (48V rack-mounted battery) has become an ideal battery solution. The modular, rack-mounted lithium-ion battery product, with its high safety, scalability, and ease of maintenance, is gradually replacing traditional lead-acid batteries and becoming the mainstream energy storage unit in modern energy systems.
The 48V Server Rack Battery is a lithium-ion battery (typically LiFePO4 lithium iron phosphate) designed for data centers, telecommunications, and industrial applications, featuring a 48V DC voltage and a standardized rack-mountable design. It has a modular design that can be installed in standard 19-inch battery cabinets like servers, enabling centralized management and efficient maintenance.
Voltage Platform: Typically 48V, compatible with mainstream power architectures
Battery Type: LiFePO4 Battery, with a cycle life of 6,000 to 8,500 cycles
