Traditional lead-acid batteries can cause multiple pain points for customers and their businesses. Take a look at a few of the most common challenges customers face with lead-acid batteries:
- The weight and size of lead-acid batteries make UPS units difficult to install without two or more people and without the right equipment.
- Lead-acid batteries have an approximate lifespan of three to five years, meaning you will have to replace them often and risk UPS failures and extended downtime.
- For businesses with multiple distributed locations with IT systems, maintaining an inventory of short-life acid batteries is costly and time-consuming.
