Battery module
GlossaryDefinition
A battery module is a self-contained energy storage unit made up of one or more battery cells, combined with protection, monitoring, and connection interfaces. It stores electrical energy for later use, supplying power when grid or solar input is unavailable or insufficient.
Context
In Vikinor’s power and hybrid energy solutions, battery modules are essential for ensuring continuous operation of telecom equipment, cooling systems, and control electronics.
They provide backup power during outages, stabilize voltage in DC systems, and enable autonomous operation at remote or off-grid sites.
By integrating battery modules directly into cabinets and shelters, Vikinor delivers compact, scalable, and service-friendly energy storage solutions designed for harsh outdoor environments.
Technical insight
Battery modules are typically designed around specific chemistries and system voltages, depending on application requirements.
Common battery technologies include:
- Lithium-ion (Li-ion / LiFePO₄): High energy density, long cycle life, low maintenance
- Lead-acid (AGM or gel): Proven technology, cost-effective for certain use cases
In telecom applications, battery modules are often configured for 48V DC systems, integrating with:
- Rectifiers or solar charge controllers
- Battery management systems (BMS) for protection and monitoring
- Temperature control to maintain optimal performance and lifespan
Vikinor designs battery modules with a focus on safety, thermal stability, and long operational life, even under variable load and temperature conditions.
