Why choose a Long Life battery?

In many standby applications, batteries spend most of their time on standby and are only required when the primary power supply fails. Even so, batteries age over time and eventually need to be replaced.

Long Life batteries are designed for a longer operating life than standard standby batteries. This makes them particularly interesting for systems that are expected to remain in operation for many years. Fewer planned battery replacements can reduce maintenance requirements, costs and time.

For critical applications such as UPS and emergency power systems, Long Life batteries therefore offer a practical solution when long-term reliability and continuity are important.

Long Life batteries for UPS and standby applications

Long Life batteries are particularly suitable for UPS and standby power systems that need to provide reliable backup power over a long period of time. When the main supply fails, the batteries provide the energy needed to keep critical equipment and systems operational.

Common applications include:

• Data centres and IT infrastructure, where power interruptions can cause downtime or data loss.
• Telecommunications, to keep communication and network equipment operational during power failures.
• Healthcare facilities, where critical equipment requires a reliable power supply.
• Security and fire protection systems, including alarm and detection systems.
• Emergency lighting, which must remain available when the normal electricity supply is interrupted.
• Industrial facilities, where backup power can protect critical processes, control systems and equipment.

The right battery configuration depends on the required backup time, load, UPS or standby system and operating conditions.

Choosing the right Long Life battery

Choosing the right Long Life battery starts with the requirements of your standby power system. Capacity is important, but it is only one of the factors that determine which battery is suitable for your application.

Important considerations include the required backup time, system voltage, power demand, available installation space and operating temperature. The requirements of the UPS or other standby power system must also be taken into account when selecting and configuring the batteries.

Intercel can help determine the right battery and configuration for your application. With Long Life ranges from Cellpower, PBQ and Yuasa, we can select a solution based on both the technical requirements and the expected use of your standby system.

What does Long Life mean for a battery?

A Long Life battery is specifically designed and built to provide a longer service life than a standard battery for the same type of standby application. Its construction and materials are optimised for reliable operation over an extended period of time.

Manufacturers specify a design life based on defined operating conditions. Factors such as temperature, charging conditions and the frequency and depth of discharges influence the actual service life, making the right battery selection and operating conditions important for long-term performance.
