Four simple steps to extend battery life

    Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery usually use 3 to 5 years. Life expectancy depends on many factors, including the use of (equipment must be battery-powered model in number) and other environmental factors. Here are some of your equipment to ensure the best use of the principle of life expectancy:    1. Make sure to place your APC UPS in a cool, dry and ventilated place. Ideally, UPS placed the location of the temperature should not exceed 24 degrees Celsius. dell inspiron 1150 battery Meanwhile, for ventilation purposes, are leaving a reasonable amount on each side about 1-2 inches of space, convenient for air circulation.    2. Every year, only when necessary for 1 to 2 times UPS run time calibration. Sometimes, you can perform run-time calibration to verify whether your running time is sufficient. However, the frequent implementation of run-time calibration will reduce the APC battery life expectancy.    3. Do not store the battery APC long time. The new battery can be stored for 6-12 months. After this time, you should use the battery as soon as possible, otherwise they will lose their large storage capacity. Does not recommend storage of used batteries.    4. Load do not exceed the rated capacity of UPS equipment 80%, as this would result in reduced run time. Load increases, the running time will be correspondingly reduced. If the power can not supply full load of the UPS will soon run out and the release of its battery charged, which will reduce the battery life expectancy. Note: To ensure longer battery run time, do the laser printer connected to the UPS backup battery socket. To ensure that laser printers use the “Surge only” outlet (using the appropriate model). For those who do not “Surge only” outlet of the UPS, the proposed laser printer connected to a separate APC surge suppressor.
