Replacement UPS Battery Kits

As data centres become increasingly critical to the global economy, ensuring uninterrupted power is paramount. With uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) at the heart of the critical power path, the choice of battery technology plays a key role in improving resilience, lowering operational costs, and enhancing uptime.

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.
