I don't see how they can patent battery per motherboard design. Isn't that how laptops work? OTOH, this design makes a lot of sense. One of the biggest failure

I don't see how they can patent battery per motherboard design. Isn't that how laptops work?
OTOH, this design makes a lot of sense. One of the biggest failure mode for rack-wise failure I've seen is human error from maintenance crews: trip over or unplug the wrong a power cord (I've seen this happen twice already from different companies.) This design completely shields this type of errors.
But, it should not be patentable!
- stcredzero 18y agoThe battery-per motherboard makes eminent sense. Between economies of scale driving down the price of small AGM and gel-cell lead-acid batteries (1) and the increased efficiency of having the battery on board, it's an obvious win! (1) - ironically, this is probably because of retail and commercial sales of Uninterruptible Power Supplies!
