The engineering inside every VoltBridge BBU.

A battery backup unit is only as good as its bridge, its battery management, and its cells. Three pages explain how VoltBridge handles each — from the sub-millisecond transfer to the 21700 LFP platform behind every shelf.

Three pillars

Bridge, management, cells

Each pillar has its own engineering page — diagrams, timing details and datasheet-grade tables included.

01 · Bridge

Bridge architecture

Grid loss to battery in under 1 ms, then a managed hand-off to genset or rectifier — the migration window your operations team actually plans around.

02 · BMS

BMS & telemetry

CAN 2.0B, RS485 Modbus and SNMP on the rack side, PMBus in the node; cell-level voltage and temperature with 0.5% SOC estimation.

See the BMS page →

03 · Cells

21700 LFP platform

3.2V cylindrical LFP cells with high-rate discharge, a ≥6,000-cycle platform rating and a -20~60°C discharge window.

Signature capability

The sub-millisecond bridge

When grid power drops, the BBU closes onto the DC bus before downstream equipment notices. The node keeps computing through the gap; when the generator or rectifier plant picks up, the bridge hands the bus back and recharges. That controlled interval is the migration window — and every VoltBridge runtime claim is sized against it.

  • Transfer from grid loss to battery: under 1 ms
  • Runtime engineered around the migration window, not around UPS-room budgets
  • After the event: automatic recharge on the same bus

Design principles

What every VoltBridge shelf inherits

Service first

Front-of-rack serviceability

Hot-swap shelves and slot-in modules: capacity grows and failed units get replaced from the front of the row, not from behind it.

Compliance first

One compliance file

Cells are UN 38.3 tested, hardware is designed and tested to IEC 62619, and the CE DoC is carried consistently across every form factor.

Data first

Telemetry end to end

Cell-level sensing below, SNMP and PMBus above — the battery reports to whichever management plane owns the rack.

Engineering questions welcome.

Bridge timing, SOC accuracy, cell sourcing — our engineers answer technical RFQs directly, within 48 hours.
