UPS Battery Replacement Frequency: How Often Should Your Equipment "Change Batteries"?
Battery lifespan depends on many factors, including battery type, frequency of use, environmental conditions, etc.
Lifespan of Different Battery Types:
Lead-acid batteries: Typically last around 3–5 years.
Lithium-ion batteries: Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries have a longer lifespan, generally lasting 5–8 years. When the battery capacity drops below 80% of its rated capacity, replacement should be considered.
When to Replace UPS Batteries:
You should consider replacing the battery when its runtime noticeably decreases and the backup time no longer meets expectations. If your equipment experiences frequent power outages or operates in poor environmental conditions, the replacement cycle may need to be shorter.
**Friendly reminder:** Regularly check your battery status to ensure your UPS functions properly during emergencies!
