8.3 Battery monitoring
Batteries are a key component of the UPS. Their service life depends on the temperature, as well as on the charging and discharging time. High temperature and
deep discharge can shorten the battery life.
1. Keep the air temperature in the range from +15 to +25°C.
2. In case of prolonged system downtime, it is recommended to fully charge the battery once every 6 months.
3. Batteries must not not be replaced separately.
4. Under normal conditions, the battery life is about 2-5 years. If the batteries were kept in a humid, dusty environment, or in low temperature conditions, their
service life will be shortened.
Battery testing methods are described below (battery performance may decrease dramatically as the end of service life approaches, it is recommended to check
it at least once every 6 months):
1. Connect the UPS to the mains and leave it on charge for 8-10 hours.
2. Turn the system on, connect users and measure their power consumption.
3. Disconnect the mains so that the UPS switches to battery mode and control the discharge time before shutting down.
4. Check whether the discharge time corresponds to the values given in figures 4 to 5. If the discharge time decreases by more than 50%, replace the batteries.
UPS works with V.R.L.A. type lead-acid batteries, which are charged in the presence of a mains supply.
Note:
1. Before performing operations in the batteries, make sure that the UPS is turned off and disconnected from the mains.
2. Remove rings, watches and other conductive materials before performing operations.
3. Use a tool with an insulated handle and do not put metal objects on batteries.
4. It is strictly forbidden to make a connection between the positive and negative poles of the battery.
5. It is strictly prohibited to open the battery due to risk of damage.
6. It is strictly forbidden to throw batteries into the fire. The battery may explode!
7. Never dispose of the operated-off batteries in the environment.
