As an electrical system ages, the DC system batteries are the most vulnerable components and will require an ongoing replacement program. The actual service life of your batteries is almost always shorter than the design life indicated by the manufacturer. They lose capacity over time based on age, usage, and operating environment.
A proactive battery replacement plan will help ensure your battery system is never compromised. Once a battery reaches less than 80 percent of its capacity, it is recommended for replacement. Batteries that are beginning to fail cause an imbalance that adversely afects the life of other batteries in the string.
On-site certified field technicians will perform new install or battery replacement and system configuration. We will also dispose of your old batteries to an environmental regulatory compliant battery recycling center.
Tests include load testing with individual cell monitoring to check battery bank capacity. Using the Albér® monitoring system to assess your battery strings' performance and detect problems will ensure system reliability and help you know which batteries need replacement.
These are IEEE and OEM recommendations for general maintenance: Comprehensive maintenance programs with regular inspections Re-torque all connections, as required Load testing Cleaning the battery area, as required 3. Do I have to replace my UPS batteries with the same brand of batteries?
UPS batteries are electrochemical devices whose ability to store and deliver power slowly decreases over time. Even if you follow all the guidelines for proper storage, usage and maintenance, batteries still require replacement after a certain period of time. 3. Cycling
