Although replacing UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) batteries is generally a straightforward process, it does require attention to safety and proper handling. Many data centres like to hire a specialist UPS battery replacement team like UPS Battery Shop to carry out the process for them.
Before starting the replacement process you need to safely isolate the batteries in the UPS, next you then need to ensure that you have the correct replacement batteries for your UPS model.
This is another part of the process we can help with. As leading suppliers of replacement UPS batteries, we cover a wide range of brands, including APC by Schneider Electric, Eaton, Liebert, Riello, and many more.
Not sure what replacement batteries you need? Firstly, take a look at the UPS manual or manufacturer’s website for the compatible battery specifications.
Once you’ve ordered the correct replacement UPS batteries, there are a number of steps which usually need to be followed:
- First, you need to prepare your workspace. It’s best to work in a well-ventilated area with enough space to move around easily. You might want to lay down some cardboard or a protective covering to avoid damaging surfaces.
- The next step is to remove the old batteries. To do this, open the UPS casing carefully, usually located at the bottom or rear of the unit. Remove the old batteries, paying attention to how they are connected.
- Disconnect the batteries. If the batteries are connected in a series, disconnect them one by one to avoid short circuits. Follow the instructions provided by the UPS manufacturer for disconnecting the batteries safely.
- Install the new batteries in the UPS following the correct polarity (+/-). Connect them in the same configuration as the old batteries.
- Make sure that the batteries are securely placed in the UPS casing and properly connected. Loose connections can lead to power interruptions or damage to the UPS.
- Carefully close the UPS casing. It’s vital to ensure that no wires are pinched or obstructed.
- After replacing the batteries, perform a self-test on the UPS to ensure that the UPS is functioning correctly and providing backup power as expected.
