We supply the cells

High-rate, flame-retardant cells, from Canadian stock.

03

Fitted or shipped

Hot-swapped on site where the UPS permits, or we ship you the kit.

Find the battery for your UPS

Not sure which one fits? The UPS batteries FAQ explains cartridge and block numbers, or send us the UPS model from its nameplate.

Who may change a UPS battery

The makers' manuals describe the battery swap step by step, and they also say who should do it. Tripp Lite's SmartPro manual says battery replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel. Eaton's 9PX manual says servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. On a three-phase system such as the Galaxy VS, Schneider Electric says servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified personnel.

Read the battery section of your manual first. If nobody on site matches what it asks for, treat the replacement as a service job.

Before you order

  • Read the model and the battery part number from the UPS nameplate or the old cartridge label.
  • Replace the batteries with the same type and number the manual calls for.
  • Return the old batteries for recycling; see the batteries FAQ.

Frequently asked questions

Which battery does my UPS take?

Find the UPS model in the replacement battery collection, or read the part number on the old cartridge or on the nameplate. Tripp Lite's manual asks for the same number and type of batteries, sealed lead-acid.

Can I change the UPS battery myself?

The manuals say this work should be left to qualified personnel: Tripp Lite says battery replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel, and Eaton asks for personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions.

Who replaces the batteries on site?

On-site replacement, including battery strings in three-phase systems, is arranged with our service partner through the link at the top of this page.

For planned visits on a larger system, see UPS preventive maintenance.
