The Critical Factors Behind Reliable UPS Battery Sizing
In a new article, LATAM Sales Manager and Critical Power Solutions Specialist Walter Soares explains why reliable battery sizing is far more than calculating backup runtime.
Drawing on questions raised during a recent C&D webinar on IEEE 485, Soares reveals often-overlooked factors that can affect battery sizing outcomes. These factors include temperature, charging practices, maintenance, system design and operating conditions.
What to look for when sizing UPS batteries
Soares' article emphasizes the importance of using manufacturer-specific performance data, adopting risk-based capacity testing and monitoring battery health trends to identify potential failures before they impact critical operations.
He also discusses how proper system design, installation, and adherence to industry battery standards like IEEE 485, IEEE 1187 and IEEE 1188 can help organizations extend battery service life and reduce operational risk.
Accurate battery sizing is a good business decision
Data centers, healthcare facilities, telecom networks, and industrial operations are increasingly dependent on uninterrupted power. Soares makes the case that accurate battery sizing and selection is a strategic component of business continuity to prevent outages and downtime.
Soares' article is available translated into Spanish and Portuguese.
