Historically, when it came to uninterruptible power system (UPS) batteries, there was a single tried-and-true industry standard: valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries. While the well-established veteran continues to dominate the market, over the past decade a new player has been steadily gaining momentum. Representing a major progression in UPS battery technology, lithium-ion (Li-ion) provides a […]
As the lifeblood of any uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the batteries represent the heart of the system. Yet research shows that up to 20 percent of all UPS failures can be attributed to bad batteries. To help extend the life of your UPS batteries ― and protect your organization from the significant costs and harmful […]
As the heart of any uninterruptible power system (UPS), batteries require proper maintenance and testing in order to avert unexpected downtime and costly repairs. It’s well documented that the battery is not only the most vulnerable part of a UPS system, but also the leading cause of load loss. In fact, up to 65% of […]
As the heart of any uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the batteries inside the unit represent the most critical component to ensuring continuous uptime. However, it is well documented that batteries are also the most vulnerable element in a UPS system. In fact, research shows that up to 20 percent of all UPS failures can be […]
While undeniably the heart of any uninterruptible power system (UPS), batteries unfortunately are also the most vulnerable aspect. In fact, battery failure consistently ranks among the most common causes of load loss. Understanding how to properly maintain and manage UPS batteries is not only instrumental to extending their service life but can also help thwart […]
