Why UPS Batteries Drop Quickly and How to Fix It

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery is a vital component that provides backup power during a power outage. However, in some cases, UPS batteries can rapidly degrade or even fail completely. This is certainly detrimental, especially if the UPS is used to protect critical devices at home or in the office. Therefore, it's important to understand the common causes of rapid UPS battery failure and how to address them.

1. Overload Beyond UPS Capacity
One of the main causes of rapid UPS battery failure is using devices beyond their rated capacity. When the load is too high, the battery will drain faster and work harder than it should. The solution is to use a UPS that meets your power needs. One good choice for small office or personal devices is the ET PowerShield 1000VA Plus, which offers ideal capacity and optimal protection against overload.

2. Unsuitable Temperature Environment
UPS batteries are sensitive to ambient temperature. Temperatures that are too hot or too cold can accelerate battery failure. UPSs should be used at a stable ambient temperature, between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. ET PowerShield 1000VA Plus   Equipped with a good cooling design, helps maintain temperature stability and extend battery life.

3. Rarely Used or Never Tested
A UPS that's rarely used or never tested can also cause the battery to degrade more quickly. Batteries that are inactive for extended periods can lose their ability to store power. Regular testing and recharging are highly recommended. ET PowerShield 1000VA Plus provides a real-time monitoring feature via an LCD screen that makes it easier for users to know the battery condition accurately.

4. Unstable Charging
Inconsistent or substandard battery charging can accelerate battery cell degradation. Therefore, ensure you use a UPS with an automatic and stable charging system. ET PowerShield 1000VA Plus has an efficient and safe charging system, maintaining long battery life even in long-term use.

5. Battery Life Has Exceeded the Limit
Like other electronic devices, UPS batteries also have a lifespan. Generally, UPS batteries need to be replaced every 2–3 years, depending on usage. If your UPS shows signs of deterioration, such as shortening backup times, consider replacing it or upgrading to a more reliable product, such as a UPS. ET PowerShield 1000VA Plus.

Choosing the right UPS and properly maintaining its battery will prevent losses due to power outages. Don't wait until your equipment breaks down because the UPS isn't performing optimally.
