Selecting EnerGrid batteries for a UPS fleet

Before purchasing UPS batteries in bulk, establish the requirements of each uninterruptible power supply. Batteries with the same voltage and capacity can still differ in dimensions, terminals and discharge performance.

Information for a compatibility check

Provide the exact UPS model, existing battery markings, number of batteries in each series string and number of parallel strings. Add photographs of the terminals and battery compartment, load power and required runtime. Check charging parameters and permitted configurations against the UPS documentation.

Selection by UPS brand

Requests for APC, Eaton, Ippon, Powercom or Vertiv UPS batteries also require verification of the particular model. Mentioning a brand does not mean every EnerGrid battery works with every device from that brand. The agreed specification should identify the exact battery model and quantity.

Capacity and discharge power

Nominal Ah capacity is measured under specified conditions. For short backup periods, compare datasheet discharge tables at the required duration and cutoff voltage. For HR and HRL series, also check the power rating and its measurement conditions. A series name alone is not enough for a calculation.

To request a batch of EnerGrid batteries, select models in the catalogue and send them through the contact section. If a gel battery is required instead of AGM, first confirm the UPS manufacturer requirements and availability of a suitable model.
