The average battery capacity required by a base station ranges from 15 to 50 amp-hours (Ah), depending on the base station's operational demands and the technologies it employs.
Their proprietary battery management system - developed with IIT Madras - achieved 91% state-of-health retention after 1,200 cycles in Rajasthan"s desert climate. Our energy storage solution is flexible in design and can be seamlessly integrated with various existing base .
Lithium-ion batteries, particularly Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4), are dominating this sector due to their exceptional energy density, extended lifespan, and improved safety profiles compared to Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) technology.
It is part of the total 32 battery storage stations being built by SMC, through its San Miguel Global Power (SMGP) all over the country, the first and largest such network in the country, and among the largest integrated battery storage networks in the world.
Telecom batteries play a vital role in storing excess energy generated by renewable energy sources, ensuring that telecom base stations are continuously powered even in the absence of solar or wind energy.
Large-scale macro base stations typically require 48V battery systems with capacities ranging from 50Ah to 200Ah per cabinet. LiFePO4 battery packs provide 4–8 hours of backup autonomy, ensuring network continuity during grid outages.
