Uninterruptible power supply with ultra-long battery life

How long does an uninterruptible power supply last?

Like all other IT equipment, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has a finite lifespan. The average expected lifecycle of a UPS is eight-to-ten years. The batteries typically need to be replaced at least three times during that lifespan. Of course, once a UPS reaches the end of its lifespan, it should be replaced to mitigate downtime.

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is way more that just a surge protector, its meant to save your time as well as your devices. These surge protectors with a built-in backup battery provide a safety net by delivering continuous power during an outage, giving you time to save your work and safely shut down your equipment.

Are battery-backed uninterruptable power supplies reliable?

Reliability of power sources is an increasing challenge in many sectors and battery-backed uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) are one option to protect and keep electronic equipment operating in the event of grid power failure.

How long do UPS batteries last?

For organisations that need to mind the bottom line, a small footprint UPS with lithium-ion—like the lightweight Smart-UPS Ultra—can save battery replacements costs by up to 300%. These batteries last 8-10 years, which is three times longer than lead acid (VRLA) batteries.
