There are a few different factors that can contribute to the lifespan of a UPS battery. On average, a battery will last anywhere from 3-5 years. But, some batteries can last much longer, while others might die on you in a very short amount of time. It all depends on the conditions and how you maintain your battery.
- The operating temperature; most should operate between 20-25 degrees Celsius
- Discharge frequency
- Over or under-charging
Regular maintenance of your UPS battery is, perhaps, the best way to increase its lifespan and get the most use out of it. Most people recognize that UPS batteries are designed to be durable and low-maintenance. But, that doesn’t mean you should ignore taking proper care of them.
