What type of battery does an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) use?
Most uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems currently sold on the market use water-free and maintenance-free lead-acid batteries. These batteries are sealed, and their interiors contain a paste-like substance that generates energy through chemical changes. For the average consumer, these batteries are not only easy to use and maintain, but also readily available in the market when replacements are needed.
How long is the battery's lifespan?
The power supply for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) comes from the discharge of its internal battery. Besides external environmental factors, battery aging is also caused by internal chemical changes. Even when a battery is left unused, it will still age. Generally speaking, a battery's lifespan is 2-3 years.
How to maintain a battery?
Regularly charging and discharging the battery is a crucial part of battery maintenance. If your UPS has a battery detection function, you can perform this function periodically. If it doesn't, you can disconnect the UPS power input to simulate a power outage and observe whether the battery discharge time is sufficient. If it is, consider replacing the battery to ensure sufficient discharge time during a power outage for data storage and complete system shutdown.
Where can I get my battery replaced?
When the battery of your purchased UPS needs to be replaced, you can contact the product's service center or dealer.
