UPS Batteries

Valve Regulated Lead Acid. VRLA batteries have been the most common type of batteries for UPS systems. They are a “sealed” battery that utilizes a starved electrolyte absorbed in a plate separator or formed into a gel. They offer a 10 year life span, but normally need to be replaced every 4-5 years. 

Wet cell batteries utilize a vent to allow gas to escape to the atmosphere. A wet cell battery is enclosed in large clear container so end users can inspect the levels of liquid electrolyte and condition of the lead plates. They're a more expensive battery, but offer a 20 year life span. They're normally replaced every 15-18 years. 

Lithium-ion batteries consist of a cathode, an anode, and some chemistry of electrolyte. They offer an extended lifespan, ­increased power density, smaller footprint, and increased cycle life. They're expensive as well, but offer a 15-20 year life span and are normally replaced every 10-12 years.
