The use of a battery
No matter what the load capacity of your UPS is, the battery always constitutes an essential part of the system. Without a battery, no emergency power can be generated when the power cuts out! It sounds simple, but users of UPS systems are not always aware how essential this part of the system is.
Battery life is not unlimited
The batteries used are of the stationary type. One characteristic of such batteries is that the number of discharges and recharges is limited, according to the use within the UPS. Depending on the selected system, the batteries used have an expected useful life of 4-5 years or 8-10 years. Please note that these are estimates. The actual life depends on various factors, such as ambient temperature and the number of discharges. The more discharges, the shorter the life. If you have made use of Powerware UPS products in the past 5 years, then you have had the advantage of a system equipped with the patented ABM system. ABM stands for automatic battery management. Briefly put, this means that the battery in the UPS is not constantly charged but only when it falls below a certain voltage level. Under favourable conditions, this intelligent charging method extends the battery's life by more than 30%.
Check first
If you expect that your batteries need replacing, have them checked first by the technicians of Elinex Power Solutions. They have the measuring equipment to determine whether any or all of the batteries need to be replaced.
Replacement is a professional job
ELINEX does a lot of work in the field of battery replacement and will make you a very competitive offer. Implementation takes place by professionals who know that a single poor clip connection is a weak link in the chain and that, as a result, the battery does not offer you optimal autonomy time. In addition, it is a physically demanding job that must be carried out with professional equipment.
Old batteries are chemical waste
ELINEX Power Solutions keeps a record of incoming and outgoing batteries. Used batteries that have been replaced by new ones are stored as chemical waste and processed as such by certified chemical waste processors.
