Estimated cut in total battery capacity, and the double-conversion loss avoided, when one distributed battery set replaces duplicated A- and B-side central UPS battery sets
~50% / 2–3%estimate

|---|---|
| Scope | SemiAnalysis analyst estimate, not a field measurement. Dropping the separate A-side and B-side central UPS batteries yields the roughly 50% capacity reduction, and removing the central AC-DC-AC pair avoids its 2-3% loss. The installed result depends on the runtime and redundancy you need and on any central conversion you keep. |
