UPS battery backup around your load

Runtime is a configuration question

Battery backup cannot be selected from UPS kVA alone. The connected load, battery arrangement, condition and operating environment influence the available runtime. Tell RAPSTECH whether the objective is orderly shutdown, generator changeover or operation for a specified period so the proposed arrangement can be reviewed.

Review an existing battery system

For an installed UPS, provide the exact UPS model, existing battery type, quantity, installation date and replacement history from available records. Include any runtime changes or alarms. Do not open live equipment to obtain information; use documentation, accessible labels and authorised personnel.

Compare the complete scope

Ask whether the quotation includes batteries, racks or cabinets, interconnections, installation, testing and disposal arrangements. Confirm compatibility with the UPS charging and DC requirements. Battery chemistry and warranty terms should be confirmed for the actual supplied product rather than assumed from a generic description.

Plan ongoing support

Discuss inspection frequency, the installation environment and maintenance responsibilities. Battery replacement is not automatically included in every AMC. Request an itemised service scope and keep commissioning and replacement records with the system documentation.
