Without question, the critical service that data centers provide requires an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) that is backed by a reliable, proven power source, all at the lowest overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

The revolutionary Deka Fahrenheit solves your TCO challenge.  It is a revolutionary heat-tolerant VRLA monobloc battery that survives up to 3X longer in temperatures of 60°C – far beyond the life of a normal VRLA battery.

The effect on TCO is shown by comparing both lithium and Deka Fahrenheit batteries for a 1MWh UPS system with a standard 20-year life expectancy.  The latter offers savings both in lower initial capital investment and at the end-of-life. Based on a credit of $33/KWH, the Deka Fahrenheit lead battery UPS system provides a lifetime TCO savings of over $264,000 when compared to the lithium system.

While a lead battery system offers a financial credit when the batteries are replaced, lithium systems impose a dismantling cost. Based on a study by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the cost to disassemble a 1 MWh lithium-powered system is estimated at $91,500 ($91/kWh). This includes the cost of labor, transportation, and lithium battery disposal. Furthermore, lithium batteries have certain restrictions for shipping. They can be shipped at 100% state-of-charge for ground transportation but must be reduced to <30% state-of charge for air transport. Lead has no such requirement.

Our data-driven world demands that data centers have around-the-clock UPS. While there have been promising developments in lithium and lead batteries, advanced lead batteries like Deka Fahrenheit are a reliable, proven, and safe choice with superior sustainability, all of which minimize your TCO.
