The UPS uninterruptible power supply system is the heart of backup power. A single faulty battery creates a risk of downtime for critical load. The main cause of deterioration of a battery bank is the environmental conditions where we install it. We offer best services and products for APC distributor in Pakistan.

It is important that an expert carry out inspections at least every 6 months. To check that there are no cracks, spills. Measure the resistance of the interconnections, the floating tensions, etc.

Prevent Damage to Batteries

To prevent damage and prolong the life of your batteries, you must consider:

Temperature:

Once we install the batteries. It is essential to check that the ambient temperature is adequate.

According to the different manufacturers of battery brands. We recommend it to keep them in an environment with a temperature below 25 degrees Celsius.

Tightening Torque:

It is very important that a specialist performs the periodic inspections. Since another important factor is to check the terminals. Which must meet the tightening specification indicated by the manufacturer.

Tightening a terminal with more torque can cause the post to break. And fail the battery. Or more torque can cause false contacts. By creating hot spots by melting the battery cable or post.

Corrosion:

Terminals and posts must be clean free of corrosion. If a terminal is dirty or corroded there is likely an acid leak.

If The Battery Is Leaking or Inflated, It's Time to Replace It.

Monitoring is a very useful alternative to rectify batteries.  

Charge And Discharge Cycles:

UPS batteries can have a useful life of approximately 5 years or a little more than 100 cycles with a deep discharge, in other words, the maximum time that the battery can provide backup is for approximately 25 occasions in a year.

If power outages exceed this number of times per year, you may have battery failure.

Having a monitoring system is a very useful alternative since it allows you to continuously monitor and measure variables such as impedance, temperature, voltages, etc.

Batteries in good condition usually have a capacity greater than 90% of that indicated by the manufacturer, who recommend replacing them if it falls below 80%.

Conclusion

We can attend to the installation and replacement of UPS batteries; we are direct importers and we are also associated with the main UPS manufacturers to offer quality products and services.
