Batteries are an integral part of any UPS installation, whether it consists of a single block or thousands of cells.

Indeed, without a well-maintained battery system that performs when you need it, the UPS itself is practically worthless. A battery failure is as serious and unwanted as a mains power outage. Good upkeep is essential.

This whitepaper offers an overview of UPS batteries, from the different types and how they’re manufactured, through to all the factors that affect cell lifespan.

You’ll also learn about the most common conditions and get some top tips about battery maintenance and monitoring to help reduce your risk of premature failure.
