Telecom base stations require reliable backup power to ensure uninterrupted communication services. Selecting the right backup battery is crucial for network stability and efficiency.
Key Requirements:
- Capacity & Runtime: The battery should provide sufficient energy storage to cover potential power outages.
- Cycle Life: A long cycle life ensures cost-effectiveness over time.
- Discharge Rate: The ability to supply power quickly without significant voltage drop.
- Efficiency & Maintenance: Low maintenance and high efficiency improve overall system reliability.
Common Battery Options:
- Lead-Acid (VRLA, OPzV, OPzS) – Cost-effective and widely used.
- Lithium-Ion (LFP, NMC) – Higher energy density and longer cycle life but more expensive.
- Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) – High durability and temperature resistance but costly.
Choosing the right battery depends on operational requirements and budget considerations.
