Tips to Extend UPS and Inverter Backup

Individuals use power reinforcement gadgets to adapt to control blackouts that

are brought about by either awful climates or planned burden shedding. UPS and

Power Inverter are two ordinarily utilized electric force reinforcement gadgets

that are equipped for supplying electric current to keep electrical and electronic

gadgets working. Their utilization changes from running PC servers, fans, lighting

and a wide range of home apparatuses. PC servers regardless of they are bigger

for business use or littler for official or private use, they are constantly associated

with UPS to ensure their running movement and keep them generally online if

there should be an occurrence of force disappointment. A standby generator is

additionally constantly kept prepared if there should be an occurrence of

expanded power blackout.

During power outages, both UPS and inverter play the important role of supplying

current to electrical and electronic devices. Both these devices use batteries for

this purpose. UPS have in-built batteries whereas inverters are connected to

batteries depending on requirements. Extending the life of the battery is essential

for the long life of the inverter and UPS. Regular maintenance of the battery will

ensure better performance of the both.

Here are some tips for increasing the backup of your home UPS and inverter:

- First and foremost is taking good care of the UPS battery. Charging the battery

correctly is important. This means in case of no power cuts, completely discharge

the battery once a month and then recharge it.

- Ensure that the required water level is maintained in the battery. Only use

distilled water as tap water may contain impurities which will prove to be harmful

for the battery’s life.

- Always keep the terminals of the battery free from corrosion. Rust in terminals

of the battery will restrict the flow of current. This will result in slower charging of

battery, ultimately reducing its life.

- Change the worn out batteries. Poor quality batteries may not offer the required

backup. Sealed batteries will prevent any leakage of electrolyte. Always buy good

quality batteries which guarantee storage capacity. Buying tubular batteries for

their operational efficiency, low maintenance cost and long life can be a good

option.

- Backup time for a smaller battery will be small essentially. Also, when one uses

electronic devices, power stored in the batteries is being utilized continuously.

One is required to manage the appliances or devices one wants to run in case of

power failure. Hence, it is essential to disconnect the extra load and use only the

most important electronic devices required during load shedding.

- Using energy saving devices like LED bulbs instead of normal fluorescent bulbs.

This way less power will be utilized to produce the same amount of light. Also, use

good quality of wiring which will ensure less power consumption.

The above points will be helpful for you to extend the battery backup of your

inverter and UPS.
