This battery carries a warranty for up to 12 years
Exide Technologies, a European battery energy storage solutions (BESS) provider, rolled out its latest products at Data Centre World Paris 2025, designed for AI data centers.
The company emphasizes reliability, efficiency, and sustainability as the key features of its products.
AI-driven data centers require an uninterrupted power supply that can endure ms-level load fluctuations, which can potentially cause power supply instability and affect computing performance. Additionally, the green transition mandate for data centers to reduce energy costs and emissions raises concerns about the intermittent nature of renewable energy. Here, BESS serves the dual purpose of ensuring a stable power supply while utilizing clean energy.
The company’s Solition Data Center solution is designed for AI data centers and commercial UPS applications. Without providing many details, the company states that the ‘high power density’ lithium-ion battery-based storage system offers a footprint that is up to 60% smaller than standard peers. This attribute makes it suitable for space-constrained data centers.
The solution also offers flexibility to data center operators, allowing them to combine existing and new batteries on a single platform without compromising performance. This, in turn, optimizes existing resources and contributes to the company’s pursuit of sustainability goals. Its integrated battery management system monitors and controls a variety of operational parameters in real-time to support predictive maintenance and minimize downtime. Regarding safety, it features a fire protection function that automatically detects anomalies and protects the system at the battery unit level. The company claimed that these attributes help lower operational costs by up to 80%. Exide Technologies promotes this BESS for the hyperscale and enterprise-level data centers that seek resilient, space-saving backup and grid-support solutions.
The Sprinter Pure Power battery, also on display, is built with an AGM-type battery that features thin lead plates. It is designed for AI-ready data centers and high-demand UPS systems, seeking efficient energy transfer and long-term reliability. Compared to traditional AGM batteries, it saves up to 20% of space and delivers up to 20% additional power during fast discharge. Its polypropylene-based casing minimizes water vapor emissions and extends lifespan to up to 12 years.
Serge Arbes, Senior Business Director of Global Energy Solutions at Exide Technologies, said, “Our latest portfolio addresses the growing need for grid support and backup power while driving long-term value and environmental responsibility.”
