Reliability for UPS systems with UPS batteries
How can you significantly increase the service life of your UPS systems ? The best thing to do is to invest in high-quality UPS batteries or UPS batteries. This is often already half the battle for reliable and uninterrupted power in operation. UPS systems, UPS systems or uninterruptible power supplies ensure a continuous and at the same time trouble-free power supply for mission-critical or uninterrupted power supplies. sensitive applications. A reliable power supply can be essential for your data and applications in a wide variety of areas. For example, in the IT server room, data center, IT rooms, data centers or industry. Therefore, increase the reliability of your UPS systems with high-quality UPS batteries or UPS batteries. Batteries.
Increased UPS service life
The service life of the battery is of fundamental importance for the reliability and availability of a UPS system. Since lead-acid batteries are electrochemical power sources, it can be assumed that their battery power will decrease over time. Premature aging, however, also means higher costs in any case due to the service work involved and the overall shorter operating time. In addition, the UPS batteries may not be available at full power when needed, which can jeopardize the uninterruptible power supply to consumers.
In normal UPS operation, the battery is only needed occasionally and its “wear rate” is highly dependent on how it is charged. UPS system manufacturer Eaton has developed the ABM-Advanced Battery Management automatic battery management. With sophisticated logic and an advanced battery charging process, the system optimizes the service life of valve-regulated lead-acid batteries. In contrast, with conventional trickle charging, the current that constantly flows through the battery, even in UPS standby mode, leads to corrosion phenomena on the electrodes and to drying out of the electrolyte. Eaton’s automatic battery management reliably ensures that the UPS battery is only charged when needed, which also significantly extends its lifespan. The range of functions also includes the optimization of the battery recharge time, which is particularly advantageous in the event of successive power failures within a short period of time.
EPS specialises in UPS installation, UPS service and UPS maintenance and recommends a high-quality and suitable battery for your UPS systems. We recommend different manufacturer brands of UPS batteries. Depending on the UPS application area, power and UPS solution, we offer a wide variety of battery systems.
Sealed lead-acid batteries VRLA/AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat)
No distilled water needs to be refilled during the service life and the electrolyte cannot be checked. Gas in the form of hydrogen and oxygen, which is produced during charging or electrolysis, is 99% recombined into water and remains in the charging and discharging cycle.
In the event of overcharging or incorrect charging method, the gas can escape automatically via the safety system. At the same time, it protects against increased overpressure.
Lithium-ion batteries
The UPS must be specially designed for the respective lithium-ion type.
The system requires a battery management system (BMS).
Pros:
- Significantly lower weight
- Less space required
- Longer service life
- faster charging
