ZincFive is the world leader in innovation and delivery of nickel-zinc battery-based uninterruptible power supplies for mission-critical applications in Data Centers and Intelligent Transportation and offers batteries for stationary, motive and start-stop applications. Nickel-zinc is the ideal battery for UPS backup with its ability to safely deliver large amounts of power in a small footprint with a battery life equal to UPS system life. Nickel-zinc batteries offer twice the power density with higher charge/discharge rates, three times the life, and a wider operating temperature range than lead-acid batteries, as well as containing no hazardous materials. When compared to lithium-ion, nickel-zinc batteries offer higher power density and charge/discharge rates, no thermal runaway, and are fail-safe and fully recyclable. With 107 patents awarded, ZincFive leverages nickel-zinc chemistry within its solutions to provide high power density and performance simultaneous with superior safety and environmental advantages.
