How to replace the uninterruptible power supply

How do you choose an uninterruptible power supply?

When choosing a uninterruptible power supply, IT teams can evaluate two criteria. One is the life of the unit itself – up to ten years. The second consideration is batteries. Every UPS unit has a battery, which as mentioned, must be replaced up to three times.

What is the battery life of a UPS (uninterruptible power supplies)?

1. When is the battery life (replacement time) of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies)? The battery life of a UPS varies depending on the surrounding usage environment, but it is generally said to be 2 to 5 years for lead-acid batteries and 10 years for lithium-ion batteries.

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.

Can I replace a battery without powering ups?

If your UPS is currently running on battery power, let it discharge completely before continuing. If your UPS supports hot-swapping, you can proceed to replace the battery without powering down the system. However, double-check that this is indeed the case by consulting the UPS manual or checking if the unit has a bypass mode.
