The San Diego Supercomputer Center in the US is ditching its lead-acid uninterruptible power supply batteries for more environmentally friendly rechargeables - though it's avoiding lithium-ion, and going with a new form of rechargeable alkaline.
Currently, the SDSC relies on a generator and UPS to provide emergency power.
Because of environmental regulations in its home state of California, the SDSC has been unable to scale up the portion of its emergency power delivered by generators.
The new batteries - half of which are already installed - will be a way to avoid running into that limitation.
Providing the 5,200 batteries, which replace 20,000 pounds of lead-acid, is Urban Electric Power.
UEP's founder, Sanjoy Banerjee, developed the technology behind the batteries while a professor at City College of New York before spinning it off into a commercial proposition.
