Is it time to replace your uninterruptible power supply?

Credit to Author: Michael Mahan| Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2023 19:52:41 +0000

Like all other IT equipment, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has a finite lifespan. The average expected lifecycle of a UPS is eight-to-ten years. The batteries typically need to be replaced at least three times during that lifespan. Of course, once a UPS reaches the end…
