“When power becomes volatile, the battery chemistry behind the UPS suddenly becomes critical infrastructure”
Brandon Smith, Vice President of Global Sales and Product, ZincFive
technology in the digital economy operates largely out of sight. Early in his career, Brandon worked directly with battery systems and uninterruptible power supplies( UPS), maintaining and supporting the equipment that keeps hospitals, transport networks and data centres running when the grid fails.
That hands-on experience sparked a lasting interest in the technologies behind reliable power infrastructure. Over the years he worked across multiple battery chemistries, including lead-acid, lithium-ion and advanced monitoring systems, building a practical understanding of how different technologies perform in mission-critical environments.
“ When you spend time around these systems, you realise very quickly that the chemistry matters,” Brandon says.“ Different batteries behave very differently when the power environment becomes volatile – and that’ s where the engineering becomes really interesting.”
