- APC Back-UPS PRO 280 BP280 S battery replacement
Installing the batteries is comparatively simple, refer to your manual for the procedure if you are not sure, they will come out to you almost fully charge but the system will still need to complete a service charge upon firing up, you should of course be aware that while this is happening the system will not be able to offer the full backup runtime period until its finished, we know it may not be convenient as everything is completed a rush but if you can its best to run the system without any load to start
Batteries in this type of installation would typically have a expected life span of between 2 to five years, this will however very much depend on how they are used, using the UPS system as part of the office furniture, putting boxes on it is not the best idea, it needs good ventilation, the batteries will in general use get very hot as they are working hard 24-hours a day, the more heat the shorter their life, the higher the load the harder its working which directly relates to battery life, if you can try to keep it below 40%
These batteries are very resilient and can be mounted on the side without any issues, no leaking, which means they can be used in tower or rack mountable situations, they are the recommended VRLA type and benefit from AGM technology they are not-hazardous so safe for use in critical environments
Many codes on UPS systems are very similar, carefully check them before ordering to ensure you are getting the right pack, the batteries themselves are recyclable, more detailed information about recycling lead batteries can be found on a link at the foot of this page
