Ups PowerCable

No matter how big or small, a UPS system is a large investment, and it should be taken care of and properly maintained if you want it to last you for years to come. This means ensuring that you have the right accessories, such as UPS power cables, and that you keep the equipment clean and dry.

Understand The Monitoring System

Most modern UPS systems will come with a monitoring system with a display screen. Ensure that you understand what all the different numbers mean and which factors may indicate that there is something wrong.

Keep Your Battery Under Recommended Conditions

The manufacturer should supply you with recommended guidelines for caring for your battery and keeping it under certain conditions. This usually means keeping it dry, out of harm’s way and within a certain temperature spectrum.

Replace Your Battery

Depending on the UPS system, you can expect the battery of your UPS system to last you around 3 to 5 years. Make sure that you are aware of the manufacturer’s guidelines when it comes to replacing your battery. There are many factors that will affect the lifespan of your battery, including care, as well as how many discharge cycles it runs.

Placement

UPS systems, especially batteries, should not be placed in close proximity to any doors or windows. They should also not be pushed up too close against a wall as the ventilation may become blocked.

Ensure That You’re Using High-Quality UPS Power Cables

While there are many generics and cheap knock-offs out there, one of the most important things when it comes to expanding the lifespan of your UPS system is using high-quality UPS power cables, which can be purchased from reputable suppliers. When you get your UPS system installed, you should ensure that you get the UPS power cable from the same suppliers, but if you find that you’re in need of a new cable, ensure that you go through a reliable seller.
