Smart UPS 2200 - battery replacement - How long will it last?

[Sense2k]

Hello 

Our 2200 needs a replacement battery as indicated by the red led etc.  On this model, what is the behavior - 

Typically how long will the battery last in this state?  Is it days/weeks?

If and when the battery finally dies, will the servers etc attached to it shut down or will they continue to get mains power ?

Thank you!

The rated service life is 3-5 years based on usage, temperature, and environmental conditions. If the battery cartridge is extremely weak upon a lights out event the connected loads will be dropped and the UPS will shut down.

If the battery is still marginal and has enough capacity and (IF) Power Chute Software is installed onto your servers.

A graceful shutdown will be initiated.

All of the above assumes the battery cartridge is able to sustain the load while the PCBE / PCSS software can complete this task. ☝️

If you’re curious you can test this out now by simply removing AC Mains from the wall to mimic a lights out condition. Obviously, you’ll only do so during the maintenance window allowed. 👍

You can find the APC RBC (Replacement Battery Cartridge) by selecting the About tab on the front LCD.
