VoltBridge 51.2V LFP rack battery backup unit installed in an AI datacenter rack
51.2V LFP · GB300-READY · 800VDC ROADMAP

Battery backup built for the AI rack era.

VoltBridge designs and manufactures BBU battery backup units that bridge power excursions in milliseconds — rack shelves, in-server modules and ±400V shelves, engineered for GB300-class compute and the grids they outgrow.

Bridge architecture

The grid blinks. The rack doesn't.

Meta's Llama 3 run logged 466 interruptions in 54 days of pre-training — 78% hardware-related. VoltBridge BBUs treat every excursion as a bridge event: <1 ms to battery, minutes of ride-through, then a clean handback.

  • Sub-millisecond transfer with inrush control on bridge entry
  • Ride-through sized to your migration window — not a guess
  • Cell-level telemetry streamed over CAN, RS485 or PMBus
  • Automatic recharge profile after handback, no manual reset
How bridging works
Telemetry

A bridge event, exactly as logged.

Every VoltBridge unit writes the same record to its event log — detection, transfer, hold, handback. This is a representative readout from a VB-E3 over CAN.

The 800 VDC wave

Backup power is moving upstream. We're already there.

NVIDIA has announced an 800 VDC datacenter architecture for its 2027 Kyber-generation racks; Vertiv ships 800VDC products in 2026; Delta already fields a 72 kW ±400VDC BBU. VB-H400 speaks that bus natively.

How we work

From RFQ to racks in production.

A straight engineering path — the same one behind every BBU program we run, OEM or VoltBridge-branded.

RFQ & rack survey

Share your rack architecture, load profile and bridge-time target.

Spec definition

We lock capacity, paralleling, comms and compliance scope in one datasheet.

Sample build

Engineering samples from our BMS SMT and PACK line, with test report.

Validation

Your bench or ours: bridging, thermal cycling, telemetry integration.

Pilot run

A first batch under full QC, packed with UN 38.3 transport docs.

Mass production

Scheduled builds with batch traceability and 5-year warranty backing.

Compliance posture

Tested, documented, export-ready.

What we state is what we can document — test summaries and declarations travel with every shipment.

Quick answers

Before you ask.

A BBU (battery backup unit) sits inside the rack or server and bridges the DC bus directly — no double conversion, no room-scale UPS. It covers the seconds-to-minutes between a power event and generator or rectifier pickup, at a fraction of the footprint.
Sample quantities from 2 units; production MOQ is typically 10–50 units depending on model. Samples ship in 2–4 weeks, production batches in 4–8 weeks after validation.
Cells are UN 38.3 tested with Test Summaries available on request. Products are designed and tested to IEC 62619, CE marked with DoC, and RoHS/REACH compliant. UL 1973 and UL 9540A certification paths are quoted per product and destination market — we state only what we can document.
Yes — up to 15 units share one bus with current-sharing over CAN. Larger bays are architected as grouped shelves, the same pattern behind 80 kW-class AI power bays.
