| Term | Portable Batteries |
|---|---|
| Code | BM-6550 |
| Definition | Programs that supply batteries which provide power to any of a variety of systems when the primary source of power is unavailable. The service is particularly important for people who find themselves in emergency situations when they lose their power, e.g., those with heath conditions who rely on medical equipment powered by batteries. Backup batteries range from small single cells to retain clock time and date in computers, to large battery room facilities that power uninterruptible power supply systems for large data centers. |
