Let’s have a look at some frequently asked questions about UPS battery maintenance:
1). My UPS has been preserved for more than a year. Thus, is the UPS battery still in good condition?
Ans. If the batteries do not get charged, their lifespan will reduce automatically. Lead acid batteries are self discharged. So, charging of these batteries every three to four hours of preservation is highly recommended. Else their lifespan will decrease permanently in 18-30 months.
How battery runtime is influenced on the off chance that I decrease the burden on the UPS?
Ans. If the burden is decreased then the battery runtime will be increased.
What is the normal life period of UPS batteries?
Ans. Normal lifespan of a UPS battery is three to five years. But it can be varied due to proper maintenance, environmental condition and number of discharging the batteries etc. Regular proper maintenance of UPS battery can let you know the lifespan of your battery.
Does the UPS required to have a burden on it to charge the batteries?
Ans. Basically a UPS does not need to charge a minimum amount its batteries. Once it is connected to the power supply, it automatically charges its battery with spontaneous flow.
What is meant by Thermal Runaway?
Ans. When the heat produced in the lead acid battery cell extends its capacity to dissipate that same heat, Thermal runaway happens. It results to explosion especially to maintenance free cells.
If I connect more batteries to the UPS, can I also add more burden to it?
Ans. If a user is adding more batteries to UPS then it can increase the battery runtime which can support the load also. But it does not increase the lifespan of UPS battery.
It can be hoped that you will get a proper knowledge and idea to maintain your UPS battery after reading the above answers of the frequently asked questions.
