If you use a backup power supply that utilizes RBC11 batteries, it’s a good idea to replace them once a year.

An RBC battery can usually be expected to last longer than a year, however, as with any battery, you never know exactly when its lifespan will run out. The truth is that between one and two years would be a safe estimate, but when you’re relying on a battery to provide you emergency backup power in the event of a power problem, it is wiser to err on the side of safety. Most battery retailers and manufacturers offer a one year warranty simply because one year is the maximum amount of time that you can safely rely on an RBC11 battery.

The specifications, and shape of your battery etc, should be written down before you order your new RBC11 battery. Be extremely careful when ordering your RBC11 batteries, as manufacturers do have a habit of changing the specifications without notice. Your spec on the unit maybe totally different when you visit the manufacturers website. The top complaint received by RBC11 retailers is that the battery does not fit correctly. When this occurs, shipping the mismatched battery back to the retailer and buying the correct size is usually a responsibility given to the buyer, so make sure you’re not wasting postage and handling money by ordering the wrong size battery.

When purchasing your ups, make sure you buy from a retailer who offers safe battery disposal. Your old battery cannot simply be put in the bin because it contains various acids and leads. Safe disposal facilities are offered by many suppliers, so check this out when buying a replacement battery. Many will let you send your old battery back in the box they sent your new battery in. This saves you searching the phonebook for disposal facilities.

Basically, and in conclusion, it’s really down to the simple fact that your batteries over time must remain fresh. Replacing your batteries before they run out instead of after is really important. Like most things, they do have an expiry date which I think sometimes, we tend to forget. Your ups systems are an investment, so take note of the advice.
