Panasonic has said demand for backup batteries is rising quickly, and it is largely driven by the expansion of AI infrastructure that requires stable, continuous power. It has already allocated around 80% of its planned output to existing customers, leaving only a limited share for new buyers attempting to scale systems.

      Chech out what Bluetti offers. They’re LFP portable batteries but with a UPS features. You’ll want the elite versions though, all the others are noisy with the fan, which the elite series fixed. The tech is pretty new with these showing up in the home portable battery market, but they will last longer in both battery longevity and power during outage than the old SLA type ones. And if youre travelling / going somewhere and dont need the UPS active you can take it with you and be useful!
