Bridging the gap.
WHAT THEY DO
Provide power instantly when the supply fails, until generators start.
HOW LONG THEY LAST
Minutes, typically.
WHY THAT IS ENOUGH
Generators start within seconds. The batteries bridge that gap.
WHAT ELSE THEY DO
Condition power: smoothing fluctuations, surges and dips.
WHY THAT MATTERS
Poor quality supply damages equipment gradually.
WHY THAT MATTERS PARTICULARLY HERE
Grid quality varies, and fluctuation is common.
WHAT TYPES EXIST
Systems that always convert power, providing complete isolation Systems that pass power through and switch to battery when needed
WHAT THE FIRST PROVIDES
Better protection, at higher energy cost.
WHAT TO MAINTAIN
Batteries, which degrade and must be tested and replaced.
WHY THAT MATTERS
A battery system that has never been tested may provide no runtime at all.
WHAT TO ASK ANY FACILITY
When the batteries were last tested, and what runtime they provide at current load.
