Rapid penetration of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries could restrain the industry outlook. Li-ion batteries are gaining significant traction, particularly in the automotive sector, as they offer a wide range of benefits of lead-acid batteries, such as compact size and longer lifecycle. Battery recharge time is a critical parameter in data center applications, increasing the adoption of UPS-integrated Li-ion batteries that can be fully charged in just two hours, whereas lead-acid units take up to 24 hours to recharge. Furthermore, Li-ion UPS systems at peak capacity allows data centers to reduce energy losses.
