UPS BATTERY CARE
Battery Testing and Health Check Services
Why Does it matter?
UPS Battery Servicing
The batteries connected to any UPS system are crucial to its continuous operation. Battery failure puts your business’s vital power continuity in jeopardy.
Most UPS batteries have a 5 or 10-year design life, but performance starts to deteriorate from the moment dioxide paste is applied to its grids in the factory.
Each battery cell and string behaves slightly differently and has a unique deterioration rate. This is affected by several factors such as ambient temperature, the frequency and depth of discharge, and how they are stored.

Battery Health Check
We can offer a comprehensive battery check, run test and UPS health check for all leading UPS brands, including AEC, Riello, MGE, APC, Eaton, Powerware, Chloride, Gamatronic, Borri, Certa, Huawei, Tripp Lite, New Wave and others.
Battery Testing
Using the latest technology our advanced battery testing gives a more accurate look at overall battery health. The test is non intrusive and can be completed without having to dismantle the battery string saving time & money in the long run.
Battery Replacements
Recent testing may have highlighted a rogue battery block or entire string fault. With technical matching of the battery characteristics and a careful equalisation charge, we can replace either a single block or full battery string in your current installation.

UPS Battery Replacements and Maintenance
UPS Battery Replacement
The batteries are critical to the integrity of your UPS system. Most modern UPS systems will perform and monitor short battery tests on a regular basis, however it is also essential to maintain these systems to ensure they will operate correctly when needed.
UPS Power Services can supply, install, maintain or replace a wide variety of batteries, the most common being sealed lead acid (VRLA) with a 5 or 10 year design life.
UPS Battery Maintenance
Regular UPS battery maintenance is required to prolong the life of the batteries and to detect any weak or faulty battery blocks. We carry out the following checks:
- Examining the batteries for any swollen, distorted or split casings
- Measure battery cell and battery string voltages
- Check for signs of corrosion
- Check the tightness and security of battery terminal connections
- Environmental checks, such as room temperature, cleanliness etc.
- Battery discharge test (via UPS front panel or system load bank )
UPS Battery Rack Design
Every battery system design has to meet customer’s needs and accommodate any special requirements. Consideration is given to:
- Battery requirements and type; such as autonomy (back-up) time and whether the batteries should be sealed lead acid (VRLA), vented lead acid, plante or nickel cadmium (NiCd)
- Battery design life and the number of charge/discharges cycles
- Parallel battery bank advantages
- Room temperature conditions
- Battery housing type; open, cladded or enclosed rack, matching UPS/battery cabinets etc
- Room restrictions; false/raised floors (are battery rack leg extensions required?), dimensions (size) or surface load (weight)
- Room accessibility; easy access, straight push, no steps, lift capacity, stairs and other obstacles
- Battery monitoring system; continuously monitoring your battery health
- Flexibility of individual battery string fusing and switchgear
- DC cable lengths and power losses associated with long cable runs
UPS Battery Installation
Our battery installation and UPS battery replacement team will perform the following tasks:
-
Site survey to fully understand the task and site access
- Produce a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS)
- Co-ordinate and arrange delivery, positioning and installation of new batteries together with battery racks/cabinets
- Install new DC fuses and switchgear (as specified)
- Connect all batteries to UPS and create a complete system
- Installation of battery monitoring system (as specified)
- If we are providing a UPS battery replacement service, we may be able to isolate and change one parallel battery string at a time so that the integrity of the overall system is not compromised during the replacement process
- Pack and remove old batteries from site for recycling and correct disposal. Providing a hazardous waste disposal certificate
- If required, perform a system load bank test, discharging the batteries whilst monitoring battery performance and thermal imaging survey

F.A.Q.
Its common knowledge that the battery system is the weakest link in a UPS and that battery failure is the leading cause of load loss and associated downtime.
Understanding how to correctly store, install, check and maintain a UPS battery system will help prevent ultimate failure and also extend the service life of your current installation.
Lets take a look at some frequently asked questions when it comes to UPS battery replacement and UPS battery maintenance.
Can you change batteries on any UPS system?
Do you only supply Yuasa batteries?
No, Yuasa is our prefered supplier. The level of quality from Yuasa and the warranty is exeptional in our experiance, they can supply almost any block in the UK within a day. We are a Yuasa main dealer, so can supply what we feel are the best batteries at the very best price. However if it is a specific battery you require we do have accounts with all the leading battery manufacturers.
What does VRLA stand for?
VRLA batteries work on the oxygen recombination principle. However, the recombination process is not 100% efficient. So over time, the internal pressure increases, and a certain amount of gases have to be released to maintain the ideal pressure. This is achieved with the help of one-way, pressure-sensitive valves which open when the internal pressure increases above a certain threshold and allow the excess gases to be vented. That is why these batteries are called VRLA or valve regulated lead acid batteries. Excess gases are also produced if these batteries are overcharged or discharged at rates higher than the recommended rate.
