Battery Disposal

• Health Check for Batteries
• Battery Life

batteries are the most important aspect of an uninterruptible power supply. It is the UPS battery that provides the UPS with its power in the event of a mains failure. An old or badly maintained battery set could affect the autonomy time of your Uninterruptible Power Supply and result in a massive problem should you get a mains failure.

Preserve the life of your BatteryTop

All lead acid batteries, wet or gel, are prone to natural decay. This is caused by metals and acid sharing the same plastic container. Natural degrading is typically about 5% per annum, depending on the type and brand of battery used. It is because of this degradation that you need to check the battery in your UPS to be sure that you will get your required and expected runtime during a mains failure. If the batteries are not in a great condition then the autonomy time will be dramatically reduced and therefore a planned, safe shutdown will not be achieved. Although regular maintenance and ideal environmental conditions can extend the working life of UPS batteries, they will all eventually need replacing.

The life of Batteries is also affected by their environmental and operating temperature. To help combat the degradation of these Batteries Borri's three-phase uninterruptible power supplies are fitted with temperature-compensated chargers. Even with this advanced charger technology your batteries would still need to be checked and tested at least once a year and fully load-tested every two years.
