In this digital age, the amount of data transmitted across the internet can push systems to their breaking point. To avoid disruptions,  companies often employ data centers to house the necessary equipment to keep data flowing.  And to avoid disruptions in power, batteries are often used as back-up.

To ensure utility, these batteries are continuously charged, and can emit hydrogen gas that can pool at ceiling of the battery room.  This can result in an explosive condition!

To learn how to avoid such occurrences, please review our Application Note, Hydrogen Monitoring in Data Centers.
