ZincFive’s UPS Delivers New Standards in Performance, Safety and Simplicity


March 6, 2018 | Product Brief | ZincFive, Inc. has introduced the ZincFive UPS for mission critical IT and represents a shift in power protection deployment through new benchmarks for performance, safety and simplicity in data center operation. UPS performance is redefined through a scalable and modular system offering a 6 kW to 48 kW, 3 phase, power-dense, lightweight, small footprint building block design with capacity upgrades in 6 kW increments. Customers can surgically place precise levels of power protection where and when they need it.

The ZincFive UPS sets a new standard for safety with non-volatile nickel-zinc batteries that are less hazardous and more powerful than lead-acid, safer than lithium-ion, environmentally friendly and, combined with CE+T Power’s inverters, enables the industry’s only touch-safe system design in an industrial grade UPS.

“ZincFive’s nickel-zinc batteries and CE+T Power’s intelligent, modular inverter system transform UPS power density, footprint, weight, safety, and maintenance to deliver a low total cost of ownership,” said ZincFive President, Solutions Division, Larry Eggleston. “Powerful, fail-safe and environmentally friendly nickel-zinc batteries that last for the life of the UPS system, upends the traditional UPS performance, safety, and maintenance model.”

Nickel-zinc battery life equals UPS system life, a huge breakthrough for UPS reliability and simplicity in operation and maintenance. ZincFive’s nickel-zinc batteries eliminate the typical three battery replacement cycles for lead-acid battery-based UPS systems during the system lifespan. Maintenance requirements and costs are minimized through user-replaceable inverters requiring no special tools. Capacity upgrades are as simple as adding new inverter modules to the system. These capabilities significantly lower operational budgets and maintenance cycles over the life of the system, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership.
