How long will a UPS battery last without power?
Standard battery run time for a common UPS is around 5 to 10 minutes under full load and about twice that under half load.
(Run times are often quoted as minutes under full and half load.) The battery run time during a power outage is a function of the current load placed on the battery and the size of the battery.
How long does the UPS battery last?
While a UPS lifecycle can extend to 10+ years, the life cycle of many batteries is 3 to 5 years.
It is best to consider a battery replacement in the 3-to-5-year range depending on the critical nature of the systems that the UPS is supporting.
What is the best battery to use in a UPS?
Lead-acid batteries have a proven track record for reliability when used in an uninterruptible power supply system.
