Replacement UPS Battery Kits

Batteries are one of the most expensive consumables in an AC or DC uninterruptible power supply and so it makes sense to protect your investment as best you can. Whilst most UPS systems will test their overall battery health, sometimes the testing is not extensive enough to identify individual battery blocks within a battery string that can be close to failure or have an internal fault.

When selecting a UPS system to protect your server room or other critical IT applications, how do you choose between a traditional lead acid battery for your UPS and the latest lithium-ion battery backup solutions? Whilst lithium-ion battery packs offer longer working lives, lead acid are the more cost effective and to a wider degree more environmentally friendly. The choice often comes down to cost, availability, and the application needs.

An uninterruptible power supply is a product designed to provide protection from mains borne power problems and a source of backup power when the mains power supply fails. For most people, the two main questions when deciding on the right UPS solution for their application is what size UPS do I need and how long a runtime is required.
