To extend the battery life SMT2200IC

[radiocolombe]

Hello, I recently installed an SMT2200IC with lead-acid batteries. To extend the battery life, should I turn off the 230V mains regularly? If so, how often (e.g., 15 minutes a day)?
Thank you for your help.

A UPS is designed and intended to operate 24.7.365 connected to AC Mains. As such disconnecting the AC Mains will cause the system to go on battery only mode.

This will reduce the service life and health of the RBC. ☝️

The correct procedure is to define the power quality and transfer voltage for your environment. 

At a high level the power quality setting defines when the system will go into battery only mode. The transfer voltage defines when the AVR circuit engages which extends the battery health and service life.

Define these two options appropriately for your environment and you will achieve a long service life.

NOTE: The RBC is rated to provide 2-5 years of service. Which is impacted by usage, temperature, and environmental conditions. 

The RBC is rated for 260 full cycles before degradation is seen.

To extend the battery of your UPS, keep the battery fully charged. Don't overcharge it (Your UPS should take care of this) and don't use your batteries in hot environments. If the battery is discharged after a power failure, charge it up again. The batteries are not made to be in a discharged state for a long time.
