Technical FAQs 4

Why do cellular base stations have backup batteries?

[...] Cellular base stations (BSs) are equipped with backup batteries to obtain the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and maintain the power supply reliability. While maintaining the reliability, the backup batteries of 5G BSs have some spare capacity over time due to the traffic-sensitive characteristic of 5G BS electricity load.

How many power supply combinations are there in a base station?

For base stations, there are six power supply combinations-solar-only, solar+diesel, solar+mains, etc. Solar-only When there is sufficient sunlight, photovoltaic cells convert solar energy into electric power. Loads are powered by solar energy controllers, which also charge the batteries.

What is a telecom battery backup system?

A telecom battery backup system is a comprehensive portfolio of energy storage batteries used as backup power for base stations to ensure a reliable and stable power supply. As we are entering the 5G era and the energy consumption of 5G base stations has been substantially increasing, this system is playing a more significant role than ever before.

Which battery is best for telecom base station backup power?

Among various battery technologies, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries stand out as the ideal choice for telecom base station backup power due to their high safety, long lifespan, and excellent thermal stability.
