How To Choice Best Server Rack Battery?
In home energy storage systems and some base stations, we often see some server rack batteries. These batteries look flat and different from ordinary lithium batteries. Let us focus on these server rack battery.
What is server rack battery?
Server rack batteries are specially designed batteries that can be easily installed in rack servers. These rack batteries are manufactured in a special configuration that makes them flatter than most common battery types, typically only 4~8 inches tall. The small, flat shape of these batteries allows them to be installed in small designated racks, the space of which varies depending on the size of the rack-mounted battery itself.
Batteries such as rack-mounted lithium batteries are a common example of such batteries, which are primarily used as UPS devices to protect electronic equipment from power fluctuations and power outages. Batteries such as UPS rack mount lithium batteries are designed to be placed in cabinets that hold multiple battery packs. These racks have several spaces or levels, each of which can accommodate a server rack battery, which can all be connected to a variety of applicable power sources. These batteries are commonly found in data centers and computer rooms and use multiple battery packs to supplement multiple computer systems.
Why choice LiFePO4 technology for server rack batteries?
Rack mounted batteries are usually used in servers and base stations, and usually involve a life span of more than ten or twenty years, or even longer. And we all know that lead-acid batteries are the most widely used in the world. Ordinary lead-acid batteries usually only last 2-5 years. The lithium iron phosphate battery can usually be used for 10-20 years or even longer, and it is maintenance-free.
For the above reasons, lithium iron phosphate batteries become the best choice for server rack batteries that used in base stations and servers.

Advantages of ELB server rack battery
Super long lifespan
The cycle life depends largely on the chemical structure of the lithium battery, which depends on the chemical composition of the lithium battery. Under the same power load and discharge conditions,
LiFePO4 battery life – 2,000~5,000 cycles
Lead-acid battery life – 500~1,000 Cycles
Each LiFePO4 lithium server rack battery has a relatively long lifespan of several years, with most lithium batteries having a lifespan of up to 10 years under normal usage conditions. This means that each battery can be placed in the rack without having to be replaced for a long time. This also makes it more economical and cost-effective, as you save money when replacing batteries, which other battery types don’t.
Safety
LiFePo4 rack batteries are a very safe battery option for rack mount battery applications. This is because they are stable in use, moderate in temperature, and self-regulating with the built-in BMS in each battery pack. These batteries are also very stable, meaning they can be placed anywhere without worrying about leaks or spills.
High efficiency
Each Rackmount Lithium battery is a highly efficient Lithium battery ideal for a variety of uses and applications. These cells have excellent SOH ratings, and LiFePo4 cells can be charged at close to 100% efficiency, far better than lead-acid batteries’ 80% charge efficiency. Also, with any LiFePo4 battery, there is almost no energy loss because they discharge much more slowly, which allows them to save energy even when idle.
Good performance
Each rack mounted LiFePO4 battery has a high-efficiency and efficient performance level. This makes them the best choice for stable power supply levels and reliable discharge rates that can calculate how long the battery will run. These LiFePo4 batteries are ideal for handling high current draw and maintain this performance as long as the battery is active.
Maintenance free
Any rack mounted lithium battery used in the rack will work without any maintenance practices. These LiFePo4 batteries are self-sufficient, so they only need to be charged and kept at the optimum temperature, and they will function perfectly as long as the battery is active.
Environmental protection
The Rack Mounted Lithium battery is a sealed battery that is safe enough for indoor use as it does not release any toxic fumes that could be harmful to the user or the environment.
How does server rack battery work?
The first thing to emphasize is that. The working principle of lithium batteries is the same as that of lithium cells.
The voltage in an server rack is 48V, and the voltage in the battery cells is indeed 3.2V, but the working principle is the same.
While the battery is discharging and providing an electric current, the anode releases lithium ions to the cathode, generating a flow of electrons from one side to the other.
When plugging in the device, the opposite happens: Lithium ions are released by the cathode and received by the anode.
This process creates an electrical current that powers the electronic devices.
How long does server rack battery last?
Generally speaking, lithium server rack batteries can last 10-20 years, and lead-acid server rack batteries can last 2-5 years. There will be slight differences depending on the frequency of use, power and scene.
