The Pursuit of an Uninterruptible Power Supply

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a great way to ensure that power to important loads is not lost in the case of a power failure. When incoming power to the UPS is lost, it immediately switches into battery mode, which allows the connected loads to run off this reserve energy. But if the UPS itself fails, then any power loss will shut down the entire system. Therefore, it is important to make sure a UPS is reliable and reaches its full lifetime potential. Using the proper battery for each application and constantly monitoring the system to maximize uptime can ensure the full life of a UPS.
