How many UPS uninterruptible power supply batteries are there

What are the different types of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)?

In the first part of this article on Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), we looked at the two main types of units, rotary and static, along with what considerations need to be taken into account when selecting a suitable UPS system. Here, we continue our deep dive into UPSs, examining the run or hold-up time, battery types and sizing.

How many batteries are in a UPS system?

All UPS systems contain at least one “string” of batteries, or a connected number of required batteries. The number of batteries in a string will depend on the UPS system’s DC (direct current) voltage. In smaller UPS systems, battery strings might be housed inside the UPS unit itself. In larger UPS systems, batteries may look like separate pieces.

How important is a battery configuration for an UPS system?

In today’s digital age, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems play a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of operations and protecting sensitive equipment from power inconsistencies. At the heart of any UPS system is its battery configuration, which can significantly impact both performance and longevity.
