Watch out! These seemingly insignificant habits are quietly shortening the lifespan of your UPS battery!
Have you often found that for UPS power supplies of the same model, your battery's lifespan is always shorter than others'? In fact, this is likely because you've overlooked some key factors. Today, we're going to uncover what affects the lifespan of UPS batteries.
Temperature: The "Invisible Killer" of Batteries
Temperature has a significant impact on the lifespan of UPS batteries. Excessive ambient temperatures can cause the battery to overcharge and produce gas, while too low a temperature can lead to insufficient charging. The ideal temperature should be controlled at around 25℃. Excessive temperatures can severely shorten the battery's lifespan.
Depth of Discharge: The Key to Cycle Life
For lithium batteries, the greater the depth of discharge, the fewer the number of cycles they can undergo. It's advisable to avoid deep discharges, especially those caused by small current draws, which can easily result in deep discharging. Regularly performing activation discharges is a good habit, but the depth of discharge should be around 30%.
Float Voltage: An Unignorable Setting
An unreasonable float voltage setting can directly affect the battery's lifespan. A voltage that's too low can lead to insufficient charging, while a voltage that's too high can accelerate the corrosion of the battery plates. Setting the float voltage reasonably is crucial.
Regular Maintenance: The Secret to Extending Lifespan
Even batteries that are not in use cannot maintain their initial capacity indefinitely. Regular maintenance can maximize the battery's capacity and slow down the rate of capacity degradation. Voltage checks, load tests, and reconnection can all effectively extend the battery's lifespan.
HIGHIDEA UPS employs an intelligent temperature control system and adaptive float charging technology, which can automatically optimize its working state and effectively extend the battery's lifespan. Its unique battery maintenance feature can also regularly and automatically perform health checks to ensure the battery is always in its best condition.
Choosing HIGHIDEA means choosing a more enduring power guarantee and a more worry-free electricity usage experience!
Tip: Even in areas without power outages, it's recommended to charge and discharge the UPS battery every 2-3 months to prevent the battery's activity from deteriorating.
