Lithium Ion Battery Modules GBU Series

Product Information

The Guardian Battery Unit (GBU) Series from Green Cubes Technology is a family of 48V 19” and 23″ rack-mountable Lithium-ion Battery Backup Units (BBU) designed to be used in conjunction with the Aspiro and Guardian DC Power Systems.

The GBU Series has been designed for data center and telecom applications as a replacement to Lead Acid batteries.

The patented Energy Balance Technology (EBT) provides internal balancing among the GBU modules connected in parallel. The EBT ensures consistent voltage and current delivery from the entire system of connected modules, which maximizes run-time and power delivery.

Remote management via the Ethernet using the UNIPOWER GCC Controller with PowCom™ software provides immediate access to performance and alarm information.

Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry provides superior power delivery, as well as the longest cycle and calendar life.
