PORTLAND, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ZincFive®, the world leader in nickel-zinc battery-based solutions for immediate power applications, has been named a finalist for the S&P Global 2023 Platts Global Energy Awards with its BC Series Battery Cabinets competing for the prestigious title of Commercial Technology of the Year. S&P Global Platts, the leading global provider of energy and commodities information and news, selected Global Energy Award finalists for their exemplary innovation, leadership, and performance.
ZincFive’s BC Series Battery Cabinet, which was also selected as a finalist for the Emerging Technology of the Year Category in 2020, utilizes safe and sustainable NiZn battery technology to provide uninterruptible power solutions for mission critical applications.
ZincFive BC Series UPS Battery Cabinets are the first nickel-zinc battery energy storage solution with backward and forward compatibility with megawatt class UPS inverters. The BC 2 model offers the smallest footprint per Kilowatt, improving on the previous record-holder, ZincFive’s original BC battery cabinet. In addition, ZincFive’s NiZn technology offers minimal maintenance requirements, no thermal runaway, and the higher reliability demanded for mission-critical applications while placing an emphasis on sustainability. ZincFive’s nickel-zinc batteries have a significantly lower end-to-end climate impact than lead-acid and lithium batteries, as validated by an expert third-party analysis.
