  • Abstract
    Zinc bromine flow batteries can provide momentary and extended duration emergency standby power with the capability to deliver 100% depth of discharge over several thousand cycles for wireless, fiber and broadband carriers. Factory and test laboratory testing of units with an energy storage capacity of 45 kWh has verified the batteriespsila performance. Units are now being installed at operational sites to confirm performance in the field.
