SAFT Battery – Flex’ion Gen 2

• New Flex’ion™ Gen2 li-ion battery for data centers and critical applications: 40% more power, highest safety & low environmental footprint
• 2nd generation Li-ion battery system provides up to 220 kW per cabinet, answering the need for high power performance.
• Highly sustainable, Flex’ion Gen 2 operates at high temperatures (35 ºC), enabling significant electricity and water savings.
• Proprietary Li-ion Super-Phosphate technology offers safety at the highest level and is UL 9540A and UL 1973 certified.

Features & Benefits

• Flex’ion Gen 2 sets a new standard for uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
• Manufactured in Europe, Flex’ion Gen 2 new lithium-ion battery solution provides up to 220 kW per cabinet, boosting power performance by 40 percent compared with the first generation Flex’ion.
• Designed for data centers and other mission critical UPS applications such as hospitals and industrial processes, the Flex’ion Gen2 is compact, lightweight and capable of operating continuously at high temperatures.
• The highest level of safety and reliability
• Flex’ion Gen2 li-ion battery system has passed rigorous testing under the UL 1973 and UL 9540A method. It is certified for use:
• without a built-in fire suppression system, placing Flex’ion at the highest level of safety
• without an air separation gap between cabinets, minimizing the space required and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the data center overall.
• Other factors that reduce the TCO are the long calendar life of over 20 years, the low maintenance and the lightweight design. Li-ion batteries are six times lighter than valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA).
• Sustainable, it minimizes carbon emissions and cobalt content
• In addition, Flex’ion Li-ion battery technology can operate reliably at high temperatures (35º C), which reduces the HVAC requirements, minimizing energy bills and carbon emissions. Its low-cobalt content of less than 1% and primary materials sourced from responsible suppliers under the Responsible Materials Initiative (RMI) enables a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly system.
