You may be here because your UPS is beeping with an annoying tone. Don't be scared; it's routine maintenance. Please don't delay, as it protects all the valuable data it backs up. It's not a difficult job and needs to be done every few years; below are the battery details for your Dell APC3IA. It stores backup runtime energy onboard using sealed lead-acid storage batteries. These filter and smooth the mains electrical input before outputting a clean supply without spikes; they are powered by 12-volt cells. This system comes with 8 x 12v batteries, and that is what we are offering on this page.

Installing the batteries is a comparatively easy procedure. If in any doubt, refer to your manual for the process. They will arrive almost fully charged. However, the system will still go through a service charge at startup, so there will be a short period when you don't have the full runtime protection your UPS can offer until it completes this operation. You can install and go, but it's better to start without load until it completes its first charge; this gives the system a chance to reset to the new batteries properly.
You should expect a life span of between 2 to five years of batteries in a UPS, the usage over time however will determine this, supplying adequate ventilation is important, the batteries are being continuously used 24/7 the hotter they are allowed to get the shorter the life expectancy, keeping the overall load low will also help prolong the life span, in a ideal world keep it below 40%, many systems are run to the maximum of their capabilities, while they may be able to do this it will harm battery life.
The batteries are valve-regulated sealed lead-acid, or VRLA for short, with AGM technology; no maintenance is needed except, of course, charging, and they can be mounted on their side in a UPS without fear of leakage. They are not hazardous, so they are safe for use in hospitals, busy data centres, and home offices.
We offer the information on this page as a guide only. Please double-check the code on your UPS; many are very similar, so it's easy to make a mistake. The batteries are environmentally friendly and recyclable; more information about recycling is available at a link at the foot of this page.
