Battery Maintenance
Secure Power offers a comprehensive range of battery services, delivered by trained and certified engineers, ensuring maximum performance and reliability. When managed proactively, you will avoid unplanned downtime, reduce costs, improve efficiency and protect your UPS from unexpected failure. Frequently examining your UPS batteries will help maximise their life expectancy, identify defective cells, and reduce risk. Our commitment is to provide value through offering leading battery products and services at competitive prices, ensuring an unprecedented high standard of customer service delivery.
The most common cause of UPS failures is the deterioration of battery cells. If batteries are not replaced, a weak or faulty battery could compromise the integrity of your backup power system and leave you unprotected.
Secure Power’s on-site testing examines battery performance and includes the following assessments:
- Individual cell condition
- Battery capacity
- Battery Life expectancy
- Environmental checks
Additionally, our other services include battery impedance and load bank testing, which can be included as part of your UPS battery service.
Additionally, the length of rental is flexible, so you aren’t fixed or obligated to a longer than necessary rental period, allowing you to keep your costs to a minimum. Your dedicated account manager will be on hand every step of the way to communicate the whole process to you, from delivery of the rental UPS System and installation, right through to the decommissioning and removal.
Preserving the Life of UPS Batteries
When it comes to preserving the life of UPS batteries, temperature plays a key role. Room temperature should not exceed 25 degrees. In fact, every 8 C rise in temperature could cut battery life in half. Another key factor to consider is the location of your UPS. Avoiding high-moisture areas and allowing at least 2 inches of space either side will ensure the UPS has appropriate airflow.
Performing regular UPS battery maintenance checks is crucial when it comes to the operation of your UPS. As part of our battery maintenance services, we undertake a visual inspection on all batteries, terminals and connectors.
