UPS replacement battery or cartridge

Which replacement UPS Battery or Cartridge do you need?

UPS battery replacements come as either single stand alone batteries (often called a cell) or multiple UPS batteries that come in a cartridge.

A replacement UPS cartridge and UPS replacement battery are two different components that are used within an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems.

What is a UPS Cartridge?

A UPS cartridge refers to the replaceable component within the UPS unit that contains the batteries. It is also commonly known as the UPS battery pack. The UPS cartridge consists of multiple individual batteries connected together to provide the required power capacity. Designed to be easily replaceable when the batteries reach the end of their lifespan.

The cartridge typically includes a built-in battery management system that monitors and controls the charging and discharging of the batteries. When the UPS cartridge is replaced, it ensures that the UPS continues to provide backup power in case of a power outage.

What is a UPS Battery

A UPS battery is a single battery cell, often used within the cartridge. It is a rechargeable battery that stores electrical energy and provides backup power during power outages. The capacity of the UPS battery determines the amount of power it can supply to the connected equipment when the mains power fails.

UPS batteries are often sealed lead-acid (SLA) or lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, depending on the model and application. The batteries are designed to have a long lifespan and can withstand repeated charging and discharging cycles. To maintain the performance and longevity of the battery, it is essential to follow recommended maintenance practices such as periodic testing and replacement when necessary.

In summary, a UPS cartridge is a package that contains multiple batteries and provides the overall backup power capacity for the UPS system, while a UPS battery refers to an individual battery cell within the cartridge.
