The ZincFive BC Series UPS Battery Cabinets are powerful, compact, reliable, safe and sustainable megawatt class UPS energy storage systems
PORTLAND, Oregon—(September, 2024) ZincFive®, the world leader in nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery-based solutions for immediate power applications, has won the 2024 Mission Critical Magazine Top Tier Product Award in the Power Systems / Products category for its BC 2 – 500 UPS Battery Cabinet. The BC 2 – 500 Battery Cabinet was selected for the unparalleled power density, reliability, industry-leading footprint, and unmatched safety it offers in UPS applications for data centers and other mission critical environments.
ZincFive BC Series UPS Battery Cabinets are the first nickel-zinc battery energy storage solutions with backward and forward compatibility with megawatt class UPS inverters. The latest BC 2 – 500 and BC 2 – 300X products demonstrate an unwavering commitment to delivering the most compact footprint per kilowatt, showcasing consistent advancements with each new release, and surpassing the already industry-leading footprint of ZincFive’s original BC 2 battery cabinet.
Both new models are powered by a new ultra-high-rate monobloc battery from ZincFive – the Z5 13-90. This ultra-high-rate battery, while maintaining the same case size as its predecessor, now delivers even greater energy and power thanks to a boost in both amp-hour capacity and a remarkable 50% increase in maximum current carrying capability. The Z5 13-90 uses the same NiZn chemistry that has been delivering best-in-class power density, as well as superior safety and sustainability, for over 10 years.
In addition, ZincFive’s NiZn technology offers minimal maintenance requirements, no thermal runaway, and the higher reliability demanded for mission-critical data centers while placing an emphasis on sustainability. ZincFive’s nickel-zinc batteries have a significantly lower end-to-end climate impact than lead-acid and lithium batteries, as validated by an expert third-party analysis.
“We are thrilled that our BC 2 – 500 UPS Battery Cabinet has received the esteemed Mission Critical 2024 Top Tier Product Award in the Power Systems Category,” said Tim Hysell, Co-founder and CEO of ZincFive. “This next-generation nickel-zinc cabinet marks a significant enhancement in our system’s footprint while upholding the highest standards of safety, reliability, and sustainability. This award underscores the innovation and commitment to excellence that defines ZincFive.”
ZincFive’s nickel-zinc battery technology has been consistently commended for its breakthrough innovation of immediate power solutions for the global mission-critical backup and energy storage markets. This latest accolade follows a series of notable honors, including being named by TIME Magazine as one of America’s Top GreenTech Companies of 2024, winning both the 2024 Edison Awards™ in the Resilient & Sustainable Solutions category and the CleanTech Breakthrough 2024 Overall Innovation of the Year Award, and securing a finalist spot in the prestigious S&P Global 2023 Platts Global Energy Awards.
