The importance of battery checks and maintenance plans
B
attery failure is the most common cause of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) breakdown.
Poor or non-existent system maintenance comes a close second. When UPS battery testing and system maintenance are not your core business and times are tough economically, these two elements often become side-lined. But they are critical to power continuity system resilience and reliability, which is why we provide a comprehensive range of maintenance plans to suit all installations and budgets. They can include battery monitoring plus regular and routine battery testing.
Maintenance plans typically cover: • Remote monitoring • On-site crash kits • DC Monitoring • Impedance testing • Battery replacements • Load bank testing • Preventative maintenance visits
