ZincFive Unveils BC 2 AI to Power Next-Generation AI Data Centers
New Nickel-Zinc Battery System Made for Fast, High-Density Power in AI Workloads
Portland, Oregon — ZincFive®, a known name in nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery solutions for immediate power needs, announced its new BC 2 AI battery system. This UPS battery unit is made to fit the unique energy goals of AI tasks in key data centers.
The BC 2 AI builds on the strong design of ZincFive’s BC series. It is the first dual-mode battery system tuned for AI. The unit connects an advanced battery manager with NiZn cells built to handle fast energy pulses seen in AI work. The design keeps a close fit between parts so it can work well with quick energy bursts. It also holds a steady force when power drops—all in one small, flexible setup.
Made for AI’s Hard-Task Power Needs
AI jobs need quick shifts in energy, especially with big GPU groups and machine learning sites. Old UPS batteries lag when power jumps and need much more space to work with sudden changes.
The BC 2 AI meets these needs. It reacts fast, packs a lot of power, and works safe with nickel-zinc cells. New 90 Ah NiZn battery cells stand up to tough cycles. They deliver long life and high power while cutting down on waste to the Earth.
The system keeps power steady at the inverter. This close match of parts can ease strain on other systems, cut the need for extra UPS size, and reduce initial spend. It also helps with grid ties and meets stricter green aims.
Small and Cost-Smart Power for AI
Other systems may take two to four times more room to hold AI power surges—sometimes dealing with up to 150% of a UPS’s full capacity. The BC 2 AI works with nickel-zinc’s strong power density. It fits in the same space as regular IT parts. This means a smarter, leaner power design that cuts start-up cost and lowers the overall spend during a data center’s life.
“AI changes how we build and power data centers. Old systems do not match the quick needs,” said Tod Higinbotham, CEO of ZincFive. “The BC 2 AI gives a safe, green, and ready-for-tomorrow fix that works well with tough AI loads and keeps regular IT support close. This moment matters for ZincFive and for the whole data center industry as it shifts into the era of AI.”
Global Praise and Industry Lead
ZincFive’s new work and drive for safe, high-power systems have earned world praise. The company has been named among TIME magazine’s 2025 World’s and America’s Top GreenTech Companies. It has also won honors like the 2024 Edison Award™, CleanTech Breakthrough’s 2024 Top Innovation, and finalist spots at the 2023 S&P Platts Global Energy Awards.
