You are probably visiting this page because your UPS is bleeping away with a very annoying tone, its shouting at you like a demanding child "give me new batteries", this is not something to be scared of, it's just general renewal maintenance, but it's not a good idea to delay as it does the job of protecting all of the valuable data behind it, it's not a difficult job and will need to done every few years, below you will find details of the battery for your HP Compaq 242706-001, the power supply utilises these storage batteries to smooth out and clean up the mains electricity that is inputted by passing it through the cells before it reaches the equipment behind it, flattening out the spikes, they are 6-volt cells, this system comes with 16 x 6v batteries and that is what we are offering on this page, being AGM and VRLA they are of course rechargeable, also recyclable the main component of them is lead, which can easily be made into something else so they are very environmentally friendly, more information can be found on our recycle page.

The batteries that we dispatch to you will be almost fully charged, your UPS will complete a full charge and this helps it reset to the new battery cell, so it will follow that there will be a short period of time where you do not have the full runtime protection that your UPS could possibly offer you until it has completed this operation, we know the system is probably urgently being used but if you can its best to run without a load to start so it can complete the job and reset itself to the new energy level.
Batteries used in this application would have expected life span of between two to five years, this will however vary somewhat depending on the general position of the item and overall use, make sure the vents are not restricted it must have good ventilation, the batteries will get hot in general use, if they are allowed to run hot all of the time it will shorten life span, If you can keep the constant load below 40% the batteries will end up lasting longer, a high load will be at the expense of the overall life expectancy of the cells.
The batteries are valve regulated sealed lead acid or VRLA for short with AGM technology, no need for any maintenance, except of course charging, and can be mounted on their side in a UPS with fear of leakage, they are not-hazardous so safe for use in hospitals, busy data centres as well as the home office.
