A Quick Guide to UPS System Battery Maintenance and Monitoring

摘要

Every UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system has a battery that initiates when loss of power from the main-source is identified. The battery is the life behind every UPS system. The UPS battery acts as a secondary power source that allows data to be saved in the event of a commercial power outage. Unfortunately, the battery is the weakest link in every UPS system. UPS batteries should be properly maintained and monitored to prolong their life, mitigate safety concerns, and most importantly, avoid downtime. Follow this simple guide below to learn the importance of battery maintenance and monitoring and understand how to perform these tasks effectively.
