What is the life of UPS batteries?

Small to medium UPS batteries typically have a design life of 4-5 years, although this can vary depending on factors such as the number and depth of discharges and the environmental conditions, particularly temperature.

On the other hand, larger UPS systems often utilise batteries with an extended design life of 8-10 years.

To ensure the proper functioning of UPS batteries, we recommend periodically checking, testing, and discharging them. This proactive approach helps identify any potential issues and ensures that the batteries are operating as intended. Regular maintenance and monitoring of UPS batteries are essential for reliable backup power performance.
