Tod Higinbotham, CEO at ZincFive

As AI pushes data centres to their limits, Tod Higinbotham, CEO of ZincFive, outlines why nickel-zinc is emerging as a new standard for safe, high-power, compact energy storage – capable of handling AI-driven dynamic power loads that spike up to 15 × to 150 % of normal load in milliseconds. He shares how Immediate Power Solutions like the BC 2 AI system are reshaping modern infrastructure.

Nickel-zinc batteries combine high power density, an aqueousbased chemistry and inherent safety with no thermal runaway risk; what advantages do these characteristics provide compared with traditional Lead-Acid and Lithium-Ion technologies in missioncritical environments?

In the high-stakes environment of data centre resilience, the transition to backup power represents a primary vulnerability. Our deployment focuses on the critical three-to-five-minute window required for diesel genset synchronisation.
