Mobile/Rentable UPS systems

Mobile/Rentable UPS systems

Mobile/Rentable UPS systems

(OP)
We have a UPS system, and the batteries failed and leaked.
It is outside in a temperature controled shelter unit, protecting it from water and extreme cold.
It has 14 batteries inseries, each about 11 volts.

It has been extremely cold lately.

They are old (over 10 years).
Why-typically-do these batteries fail?
Also, does anyone market UPS systems that are rated for class I, Div 2 and that you can rent?  Maybe ther is a system on a trailer or something?  Just an idea.  Reason is, we will have to wait until mid-February for our replacement batteries to come in.


RE: Mobile/Rentable UPS systems

Search for UPS and batteries in this forum for serveral recent discussions on UPS's and battery failures. I don't know of any Cl1 Div2 UPS's but I suppose they might exist.

RE: Mobile/Rentable UPS systems

10 yrs is a good run in my experience.

Suggestion: Visit

and type Batteries: Uninterruptible Power Supply under Product or Service, which will return 82 companies to approach to for the solution.
