Uninterrupted Power Saving batteries render power supply to the computer when there is sudden power cut. If maintained properly, these batteries work efficiently. Following are the secrets to make UPS battery work better:
1. Evaluate the needs: Evaluate the needs of requirements say if you want UPS to render power supply to more than one computer then it is better if you distribute the power supply equally. Such equal distribution of power load will enable to get longer battery life out of UPS.
2. Apply half of fewer loads on UPS compared to its maximum power.
3. It is advisable to check water level of batteries frequently say for once in every two weeks. This will enable optimum functioning of the batteries.
4. Always use only prescribed water i.e. distilled water or the one coming from air conditioning is preferable. Never use tap water as it contains some salts that decrease the efficiency of the batteries.
5. Place UPS and the batteries in cool and dry place, as exposed to sun light may lead to overheating of the batteries and will eventually cause damage to the sensitive internal circuits.
6. Never apply variable loads of Television, PC, etc on UPS as it requires more energy. Do not over load the UPS by connecting printers, fax machines or scanners to it.
7. Never discharge battery completely and if there is long power breakage say more than 2-3 hours then it is better to turn off the UPS.
8. Always make use of high quality wiring equipment like pure copper wiring to obtain efficient performance from the UPS.
9. Make optimum use of UPS back up power. Do not use the computer till the UPS turns off due to lack of backup power in UPS battery.

10. Refrain connecting an external device to UPS when it runs during power shutdown.
11. It is vital to pair the UPS with voltage stabilizer, it will double the life of your UPS battery and will also secure the system.
12. Do buy replacement battery cartridge while buying a UPS.
13. The moment UPS is bought, charge it for a minimum of 12 hours before connecting it to any device. This will provide long life to the battery.
14. UPS when fully charged; connect it to computer and run it in backup support. It is advisable never to overuse the backup power.
15. It is advisable to turn the UPS off when you shut down the computer in the night as if the UPS is run throughout the night the life of the battery will diminish.
UPS batteries on an average have the life span of 2- 3 years. If maintained properly the battery will give good performance. Also it is advisable to leave the main switch on so that UPS can gather enough power to render back up support.
