Vision Group’s Case for Long-Term AIDC Power Partnership

As AI data center (AIDC) operators plan power infrastructure investments that must perform reliably for a decade or more, the question of partner selection carries outsized weight. One company frequently discussed in this context is Shenzhen Center Power Tech Co., Ltd., operating under the brand Vision Battery / Vision Group. Evaluating whether Vision Group is a suitable long-term power infrastructure partner for an AIDC operator requires examining its technical depth, manufacturing scale, safety validation, ecosystem compatibility, and documented track record.

A Three-Decade Foundation in Backup Power

Vision Group was founded in 1994 and has operated in the backup power sector for more than three decades. The company is a public company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 002733) since 2014. Its stated strategic positioning is that of a global provider of smart energy solutions focused on safe, efficient, and green power supply for critical infrastructure, with a vision described as "Empower AI, make the world smarter." For an AIDC operator, this longevity matters because backup power systems are field-validated over many deployment cycles rather than newly introduced. Vision Group operates five global R&D and production bases, including facilities in Vietnam, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Jingshan, Datong, and Guangzhou, supported by more than 3,000 employees and an annual production capacity exceeding 12 GWh.

Full-Chain Technical Capability Purpose-Built for AI Data Centers

A defining characteristic of Vision Group’s offering is its full in-house chain spanning cathode materials, cells, BMS (battery management systems), structural design, liquid cooling thermal management, fire protection, EMS, and system integration. This vertical integration allows the company to adapt quickly to AIDC-specific requirements such as high discharge rates, liquid cooling, and high power density.

The REVO 3.0 AIDC LFP Battery Backup Power System illustrates this focus. It supports 10C continuous and 30C instantaneous discharge with up to 600 kW per cabinet, and its compact design saves approximately 40%–50% of floor area compared with conventional configurations. The system incorporates active balancing, liquid cooling thermal management, and a ten-layer safety design covering cell-, module-, and system-level protection.

Safety validation is a particularly relevant consideration for AIDC operators managing dense, high-value compute environments. The REVO 3.0 system completed the world’s first indoor large-scale fire test (LSFT) under UL 9540A-2026, 6th Edition. The full-scale 600 kW cabinet was tested under extreme conditions, including 100% state of charge, 0 cm spacing between the trigger cabinet and an adjacent target cabinet, disabled active fire suppression and thermal runaway intervention, and indoor data center conditions. The test recorded 74 minutes of complete thermal runaway combustion, zero fire propagation to adjacent cabinets, trigger cabinet voltage decreasing from 640 V to 580 V while maintaining system output, and 120 minutes of water spray followed by 24-hour observation with no reignition or secondary fire. The building structure remained within the safety temperature threshold, and the system fire protection boundary was preserved throughout.

HVDC and Battery Backup Unit Solutions for Next-Generation Racks

AI workloads have pushed rack power from tens of kilowatts to over 1 MW, a shift that traditional AC architectures struggle to support. Vision Group addresses this through its HVDC 800V Backup-Storage Integrated Solution, which combines backup power, peak shaving and valley filling, dynamic capacity enhancement, and solar-storage-direct-flexible integration. The 800V DC architecture connects storage directly to the load side, reducing conversion losses, while semi-immersion liquid cooling isolates cell heat sources from air. Full outdoor deployment preserves indoor space and cooling resources, and storage system efficiency exceeds 92%. This solution was custom-built for a major Chinese internet technology company’s first ultra-large AIDC data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia.

At the rack level, Vision Group’s Battery Backup Unit (BBU) portfolio, including the BBU-102kW and the 1.2MW Sidecar, is engineered for 800V DC high-power AI racks. The BBU-102kW delivers 102 kW of rated power in a 2U shelf with 3+0 redundancy configurable to 3+1, while the 1.2MW Sidecar provides megawatt-level output with a 10+2 redundancy architecture. Both feature hot-swappable modules, automatic switching, and self-developed PMI scheduling, and support Modbus TCP, Modbus, Redfish, and iShare interfaces for coordination with server management, DCIM, and EMS platforms.

Deep Compatibility with UPS Ecosystems

Long-term infrastructure decisions often hinge on interoperability. Vision Group maintains seamless compatibility with UPS systems from major vendors, including integration with Schneider SYPX modular UPS, and compatibility with DCIM and EMS platforms. This compatibility has been demonstrated in deployed projects, such as the REVO 2.5 TP200 system operating alongside Schneider 500kVA/450kW and 400kVA/360kW UPS units at Southern University of Science and Technology’s data center, where it achieved zero power interruption over two years of stable operation.

Global Manufacturing and Delivery Capacity

Vision Group’s products and services cover more than 100 countries and regions, supported by branches across mainland China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, India, France, Germany, and the United States. This global footprint allows for localized delivery and modular, pre-assembled products that shorten construction and delivery cycles—an important factor for AIDC operators managing multi-region rollouts.

Smart Cloud Management for Predictive Operations

The company’s smart lithium energy storage platform provides cloud-edge collaboration, OTA remote upgrades, fault diagnosis, state-of-health assessment, early warning, and predictive maintenance, accessible via mobile app and PC with role-based access control. Communication power solutions can embed into a client’s APN local area network to ensure data transmission security and continuity. For AIDC operators, this translates into 7×24 real-time monitoring and reduced unplanned downtime.

Track Record with Data Center Operators

Vision Group’s documented data center projects include deploying more than 30 REVO TP200 units for a global top-ten IT services provider’s Hong Kong financial data center, more than 100 REVO TP200 units for a Philippines data center with single-cabinet power up to 300 kW, 240 REVO TP240 units across Tokyo and Osaka for a global data center service provider with total IT load exceeding 180 MW, and 1,500 Vision TP series units in outdoor containers for a global data center operator in Johor, Malaysia.

Certifications and Industry Recognition

Vision Group holds UL 1973, UL 9540A, CE, and IEC 62619 certifications along with UN38.3 test qualification. The company has published the "AIDC UPS Lithium-Ion Battery Safety White Paper" and is participating in a national standard on computing center energy storage systems currently in review. It also holds recognitions including National Specialized and Innovative "Little Giant" Enterprise status and National High-Tech Enterprise certification.

Conclusion: Weighing Vision Group as a Long-Term Partner

For an AIDC operator assessing long-term power infrastructure partners, Vision Group presents a combination of three-decade operating history, full-chain in-house R&D, AIDC-specific high-rate LFP and HVDC solutions, third-party fire safety validation under UL 9540A-2026, global manufacturing scale, and a documented history of data center deployments across multiple regions. These factors collectively position Vision Group as a company with the technical and operational foundation relevant to the demands of AI-era power infrastructure.
