LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 11/24/15 — Methode Electronics– Data Solutions Group, a division of Methode Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: MEI), announces London-based Critical Power Supplies Ltd. as its latest value added reseller (VAR) for Methode–s AC6000 lithium-ion uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
The AC6000 is the only UPS designed to last with frequent use, delivering 6,000 watts of base power in a 2U form factor, state-of-health testing without battery degradation, and longer lasting battery life of up to seven years.
“We–re always looking for the latest technology and solutions to offer to our data center customers, and the AC6000 impressed us with its efficiency, lithium-ion value add and compact design,” said Jason Koffler, Critical Power Supplies Managing Director. “Through this new innovative technology, we will now be able to offer our customers a UPS that extends field life, is environmentally friendly and delivers a measurable return on investment.”
Critical Power Supplies began selling the AC6000 last month through its website, , and their data center customers can expect to receive support through the new VAR as well as from Methode product experts.
“Collaboration with organizations like Critical Power Supplies not only extends our reach to new prospects in the region, but it–s also an opportunity to showcase a more efficient UPS to data center managers across the United Kingdom,” said Tim Hazzard, president of Methode Electronics, Data Solutions Group. “We–re pleased to add Critical Power Supplies as our latest AC6000 provider.”
AES launched the AC6000 in 2014 and since has received UL certifications in recognition of the product–s quality and integrity. Under company product testing, the AC6000 lithium-ion UPS withstood three times the cycles of the average battery before falling below 70 percent run time capacity at which UPS units are typically replaced.
“Our customers have been most impressed by the AC6000–s innovative design and especially its quick, recharge time,” Koffler added. “It–s really an incredible value when you look at total cost of ownership and a two-year return on investment of the product.”
