September marks National Disaster Preparedness Month, a nationwide call for
households, communities and businesses to be ready for unexpected crises.

Beyond water, food, and medication, a durable energy storage system is
essential to a reliable emergency kit. From powering essential devices to
preserving access to healthcare, dependable batteries often determine
whether critical support remains available when everything else fails. As a
pioneer in advanced lithium-ion technologies, Ampace has been dedicated to
providing reliable energy security when emergencies strike.
Earlier this year, Ampace supported the Los Angeles Fire Department by
delivering Andes 1500 and Andes 300 power stations—ensuring firefighters
had reliable power when they needed it most. Designed to withstand extreme
conditions, the Andes series provides critical backup energy for both frontline
emergency teams and households preparing for outages. By powering
resilience across North America, Ampace demonstrates its commitment to
safeguarding communities in times of crisis.
Yet disasters continue to reveal the limits of conventional energy systems:
batteries that degrade too quickly, units that fail under extreme heat or cold,
and safety risks that erode trust. Ampace tackles these challenges head-on
with next-generation solutions—extending product lifespan, delivering reliable
performance in the harshest conditions, and setting uncompromising safety
standards.
Long Lifespan and Reliability: Ampace’s Kunlun Cells Deliver up to 20
Years of Service
Disasters are unpredictable, and backup systems often sit idle for months
before being called into action. That’s why battery lifespan is critical. A
long-lasting battery ensures reliable performance the moment it’s needed,
without the worry of degradation. In contrast, short-lived batteries can fail at
the worst possible time, leaving homes or facilities exposed. With a lifespan of
10–15 years, advanced systems provide the confidence that preparedness
investments will remain dependable well into the future.
To address this challenge, in 2023, Ampace introduced
the Kunlun Cell Series—designed for unmatched durability and efficiency.
Capable of up to 15,000 cycles, nearly double the industry average, Kunlun
cells deliver a service lifespan of up to 20 years. This eliminates the need for
mid-life battery replacements, cuts operational risks, and lowers overall
lifecycle electricity costs by as much as 30%, maximizing return on investment.
When integrated into the UniC Series, Ampace’s all-in-one solution for
high-power industrial and commercial use, Kunlun cells bring together
ultra-long endurance and high efficiency. With Zero Liquid Cooling and Zero
Air Conditioning technology, the system dramatically reduces lifetime energy
consumption while keeping maintenance simple—just once a year.
Endurance Across Extreme Temperatures: Ampace Powers Through
Mount Everest Conditions at -20ºC
Endurance across extreme temperatures is critical for disaster preparedness.
Disasters often strike in harsh conditions, such as blizzards, heatwaves, or
freezing storms, and standard batteries can fail when they’re needed most.
Ampace’s temperature-resilient systems ensure reliable power in both desert
heat and sub-zero cold, protecting critical infrastructure, supporting remote
deployments, and maintaining performance over the long term.
Recognized as the world’s No. 1 supplier of Residential Energy Storage
Systems (RESS), Ampace addresses the critical challenges of disaster
preparedness with its PR-S4 system. Beyond its durability with an
impressive 15-year lifespan, the PR-S4 delivers exceptional performance
across extreme temperatures, operating reliably from -20ºC to 50ºC. This wide
temperature tolerance minimizes potential operating difficulties during harsh
weather events, from freezing winters to scorching heatwaves, ensuring that
homes remain powered when it matters most.
Beyond its RESS offerings, Ampace’s Andes Series portable power
stations have achieved a groundbreaking milestone, becoming the first to
surpass 7,000 meters on Mount Everest. Even in extreme -20ºC conditions,
they reliably powered oxygen concentrators, communication devices, and
lighting without interruption. With advanced cell chemistry and
intelligent thermal management, Andes systems maintain over 70% discharge
capacity at -20ºC, operating efficiently and dependably. Whether for
high-altitude expeditions or everyday household emergencies, the Andes
Series provides a trusted source of power whenever and wherever it is
needed.
Safety and Stability: Ampace’s Semi-Solid-State Technology Ensures
Zero Leakage in Any Condition
During Disaster Preparedness Month, safety is top of mind—and when it
comes to energy storage, even the smallest risk can have serious
consequences. Ampace addresses this challenge with its semi-solid-state
technology, which eliminates electrolyte leakage and ensures stable
performance under any condition, from hurricanes to heatwaves. Integrated
into the PU200 systems, the technology is further reinforced by real-time
leakage monitoring and UL 9540A module-level fire safety certification. By
combining safety with reliability, Ampace provides communities, businesses,
and families with the confidence that their backup power will remain secure
and dependable when it matters most.
This Disaster Preparedness Month, Ampace meets its mission: to deliver safe,
intelligent, and resilient energy solutions that empower communities to face
uncertainty. With its proven safety record, advanced technologies, and
commitment to sustainability, Ampace stands ready to support society,
ensuring electricity remains reliable and secure under any conditions.
