Falcon Introduces SSG Industrial UPS Systems with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries offer longer service life, runtime and lighter weight
IRWINDALE, Calif. – November 8, 2017 – Falcon Electric, Inc a leading manufacturer of online Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) and backup power for critical applications, today announces the addition of a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery option to its award-winning SSG Industrial UPS family.
Falcon’s SSG UPS with a hot-swap LiFePO4 battery represents a technology game-changer with many user benefits. The online rackmount UPS models (1.5 to 6kVA) provide a longer service life, longer backup times, lower weight and higher safety than UPSs with lead-acid batteries or other LiFePO4 batteries. In addition, the SSG UPS lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) by dramatically reducing costly battery replacements and downtime.
Key advantages include:
- Long service life – more than 10 years; only 4 to 5 years for lead-acid batteries
- Long battery runtimes – typically 3 times longer than lead-acid batteries
- Small footprint - One-third to two-thirds the weight compared to lead-acid batteries
- Wide-temperature range – Continuous operation from -20°C to 55°C with no performance degradation
- Advanced safety – no thermal runaway issues that are inherent in Lithium-ion chemistry
- Lower lifetime costs – 75 percent less than lead-acid batteries
Falcon’s SSG 1.5 kVA Industrial UPS with a LiFePO4 battery features 3 times longer battery runtime than a lead-acid equivalent plus 44 percent less weight - 13.9 versus 24.9 pounds.
Shipping now, the new models feature a two-year warranty and current SSG UPS customers can easily replace their lead-acid battery with the new LiFePO4 battery.
