Battery replacement dates not visible on web interface

[ITInfra]

I have a large amount of APC Smart UPSes on site and I have been asked to check the battery expiry dates on the UPSes we have.

Unfortunately, some of them do not have an expiry date visible on the UPS status section within the web interface.

Is there any way to retrieve this information?

Using the LCD Menu / NMC / Smart Connect to determine the battery installation date assumes the information is correct and not faked.

The battery cartridge has a service life of 2-5 years which is based on usage, temperature, and environmental conditions.

All of the cartridges and individual cells will have a production sticker. This is the ONLY true indicator as to a date of manufacture.

Not when it was installed, not how much life is left available in the cartridge (RBC). Only a static & dynamic load test which should be performed at least once a year is a true indicator.

If this is a serious installation you will have carbon pile load testers, conductance meter, and a Fluke certified multi meter to validate the other important criteria that is referenced to the battery data sheet.
