EnerSys has announced the integration of cutting-edge embedded technology into its DataSafe® Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) batteries. This enhancement significantly improves backup power management for data centres by enabling real-time battery monitoring, thus optimizing performance and reliability in critical power environments.

As demand for power in data centres continues to surge — fuelled by advancements in sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrencies — the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that power consumption could double by 2026, reaching 1,000 terawatt-hours (TWh), which is comparable to Japan's total annual electricity usage today. This escalating demand places increased pressure on data centres to enhance their backup power systems to guarantee uninterrupted operations.
