We will help you calculate the power level and the battery capacity required to suit your specific needs. If your UPS requirements expand in the future additional battery modules can be easily added.

The small form factor of the battery will fit into a 19inch upright data cabinet. These cabinets come in multiple sizes, designed to suit storage from between 6 to 20 batteries per cabinet. Additionally, slim form factor metal cabinets, that hold 3 batteries each, are also available. Current nominal battery capacity per unit is 3.3kWh or 4 kWh per battery. These batteries offer 100% performance in conditions that are up to 55 degrees centigrade. This has been proven in the past when installed in Railway UPS system in the heat of Western Australia outback.

Each battery can provide a maximum of up to 3kw of power. Therefore, if you required 11kw of maximum demand you would need to install 4 batteries (i.e. 12kw max power). Then it is just a matter of estimating how long you want the expanded loads to be covered that will determine the ideal number of batteries required above the minimum.

In the event of power failure, the load on the UPS system will be instantly covered. There is no break change over discernable, as this occurs in 0.15 of a second. The invertor holds the grid and the battery power in parallel constantly, so the change over happens in the blink of an eye; no manual switching; no power break for seconds or minutes and no waiting for the generator to come up to speed.

As a Selectronic certifed installer, we are proud to be able to offer you peace-of-mind, by offeirng  extensive warranties on your UPS system. This includes a  superior 10-year warranty on your inverter with an additional 10-years of warranty on each of your lithium batteries.

Each battery has it’s own built in battery management. This allows you to add extra batteries modules at any time. If you have a UPS system designed to cover your home essential loads at the beginning of the year, you have the option to extend the UPS to the whole house or commercial site at a later date. You may also choose to add extra batteries to extended the UPS run time in the future. Furthermore, lithium batteries production has a worldwide expectation to become cheaper in the future, as production and use increases.

The addtion of a generator or auto-change over switch would allow your system to cover UPS loads of up to days or  even weeks. Please be aware that not all generators are created equal. For such an important use, we will only specify superior quality, such as Cat Power (Caterpillar) or Staunch generators that have proven capability.
