Beware! These seemingly harmless habits are secretly shortening your UPS battery's life!
Do you often find that with the same model of UPS power supply, your battery life is always shorter than others? Actually, this is likely because you’ve overlooked some key factors. Today, we’re uncovering the secrets behind what affects UPS battery life.
Temperature: The "Invisible Killer" of Batteries
Temperature has a huge impact on
UPS battery
life. Excessively high ambient temperatures can cause overcharging and gas generation, while excessively low temperatures can lead to insufficient charging.
The ideal temperature should be maintained at around 25°C
—higher temperatures will significantly shorten battery life.
Depth of Discharge: The Key to Cycle Life
The deeper a lithium battery is discharged, the fewer cycles it can complete.
It’s important to avoid deep discharges
, especially under low current conditions, which can easily lead to excessive discharge. Regular activation discharges are good practice, but the discharge depth should be limited to about 30%.
Float Voltage: A Setting You Can’t Ignore
Improper float voltage settings directly impact battery life. Too low a voltage results in insufficient charging, while too high a voltage accelerates plate corrosion.
Setting the float voltage appropriately is crucial
.
Regular Maintenance: The Secret to Extending Life
Even unused batteries cannot retain their initial capacity forever.
Regular maintenance can maximize battery capacity
and slow down the rate of capacity decay. Voltage checks, load testing, and reconnections can all effectively extend battery life.
IGHIDEA UPS
incorporates
i
ntelligent temperature control systems and adaptive float charging technology,
automatically optimizing operational conditions to effectively extend battery life. Its u
nique battery maintenance function
also performs regular health checks to ensure the battery remains in optimal condition.
Choosing
HIGHIDEA
means choosing longer-lasting power protection and a more worry-free electricity experience!
P
ro Tip:
Even in areas without power outages, it’s recommended to perform a full charge-discharge cycle on your
UPS battery
every 2-3 months to prevent loss of battery activity.
