Is a battery in your UPS feeling a little “queasy”, right now?

(Look below the following text for an actual picture of a sick battery that was undetected)

Are the batteries in your UPS more than 3 years old? 

If they are, you may have one or more batteries that are a “little under the weather.”  

In a power emergency it may fail, and the load may be dropped. 
This would be the wrong time to find a problem.

If the batteries have not been replaced in the last 3 years – change them, now.  More than half of all UPS service calls due to battery problems occur when the batteries are 3-5 years old.

Below is a picture of a battery string that was removed from a customer's UPS. The batteries were 4 years old (too old). The internal failure caused excessive heating and the result can be seen. It is significant that the routine testing of the UPS did not raise any red flags until a day or two before we were called in to replace the batteries, yet this kind of failure develops over time - perhaps weeks or months.

Here is an excellent example of the value of planned battery replacement - one of the services we offer.
