Lithium
Grid-storage and UPS battery input for datacenters
Lithium underpins the battery energy storage systems (BESS) and UPS that AI datacenters increasingly use to firm intermittent grid supply and to buffer multi-hundred-megawatt load ramps. As datacenter power demand outpaces grid buildout, on-site BESS becomes strategic, tying AI to lithium and LFP battery supply chains.
