| The lead-acid
batteries typically used in a UPS are considered viable as long
as they can maintain backup times of at least half that of new
batteries. Virtually all other UPSs on the market today have batteries
that are constantly trickle charged. Those batteries reach the
end of their useful life in less than half the time of batteries
that are charged using ABM. ABM uses a three-stage charging technique
that not only doubles battery service life, but also optimizes
battery recharge time and provides up to a 60-day advanced notification
of the end of useful battery life. |
