This document discusses UPS (uninterruptible power supply) batteries and their importance in protecting devices like PCs from power issues. It explains that a UPS can provide backup power to a PC during outages, surges, sags and other electrical problems to prevent data loss or hardware damage. It also describes the benefits of sealed lead acid batteries typically used in UPS systems and factors that affect battery life, such as overcharging, overheating and cable damage. The summary concludes that UPS batteries are essential for protecting data and preventing disruptions across many industries.

1. UPS Battery
Remember those days when men were prided with their fancy watches,
expensive suites and fashionable jewelry. The value of these possessions in
society has been replaced by technological gadgets as men endure a sense of
superbia over their mechanical companions, the list of which is topped by
none other than personal computers, from watching our favorite movies to
checking your email they facilitate and pamper our daily needs. Considering
these facts it’s only fair that we protect our P.Cs from hardware damage as
unpredictable power cuts can wreak havoc on our hard drives damaging
priceless data, personal records and your collection of songs that took forever
to gather up. The solution to this menacing problem is getting your computer
rigged with a UPS battery or an unlimited power supply, this device in event
of a power cut from the main supply instantaneously replaces your electricity
supply with its own source without the P.C having to shut down or restart.
A UPS can assure your PC’s protection from the following electrical problems:
• A Power failure from the main supply resulting in complete loss of
electricity rendering your computer unaffected by the situation
• Power Surge a momentarily increasing voltage that randomly occurs in
the power supply destabilizing your CPU.

2. • A Power Sag which a loss of the stable voltage from the main supply and
a reduced voltage is provided to your computer your UPS can stabilize
that!
• A Spiking or brief high voltage excursion.
• Noise, defined as a high frequency transient or oscillation, usually
injected into the line by nearby equipment.
• Frequency instability: defined as temporary changes in the mains
frequency.
• Harmonic distortion: defined as a departure from the ideal sinusoidal
waveform expected on the line.
A UPS is connected to a SLA or a Sealed Lead Acid battery which is a more
advanced technology than our conventional FLA or Flooded Lead Acid
Batteries as it tends to last longer and is known to be environmentally
friendlier and in many ways performs better than FLA batteries and if well
taken care of these batteries deliver a remarkable battery life.
Factors That Affect Battery Life and Performance
i. Batteries come in ampere hours or (AH) thus they can deliver a specific
amount of current in a given time if they are misused and applied to
power than it’s AH rating it will result in decreased battery life.

3. ii. After the battery has fully discharged it’s recommended to instantly
recharge them and never allow batteries to stay unused in a fully
charged position or manually discharge them to have a sufficient
battery life.
iii. In an event the battery feels hot to the touch make sure you let it cool
down before using it again.
iv. Normally it isn’t observed that the battery reaches a temperature in
which it is unable to maintain its optimal functioning you should quickly
shift it to place a place with normal temperatures
v. Keep battery connectors and cabling in good condition. When
disconnecting the battery connector from the equipment, pull on the
connector - not the cable. Damage to the connectors and/or cables will
result in poor battery performance.
While the UPS Battery is not only limited to protecting personal
computers it can also be applied to other electrical devices such as
electrical lighting televisions and other household gadgets. It is no less than
a life saving innovation as billions of dollars worth of data are backed up by
larger scales of these devices and where a power disruption can result in
fatalities such as hospitals and surgical equipment or a major business
disruption may occur. In today’s world of unpredictability these devices,
without a doubt are necessities!
