10-year-rated, high temperature batteries

A long-life battery in the company’s SSG Series TM Industrial-Grade UPS Plus product line is for environments with temperatures that typically exceed 40° C, like a factory floor, a desert setting, or any computer rack. The batteries are rated to last at least twice the service life of standard five-year/40° C rated batteries. The batteriesare rated for 10 years of expected life in a temperature-controlled environment (up to 25° C) The SSG Series UPS is free from the “over-cycling” of batteries caused by the “buck-boost” feature of less-expensive “switching,” or “line-interactive” UPSes. The SSG Series is the only UPS to carry a 55° C (131º F) UL listing for operating at high temperatures. Available in models from 1.5 to 3kVA and in both 120Vac and 230Vac versions, the SSG Series is capable of withstanding elevated temperatures of up to 55ºC for prolonged periods of time. The new long-life batteries are rated to last seven years at 40° C and four years at 50° C. Another feature of the SSG Series UPS is its universal battery pack, which fits all SSG 1.5-3kVA models and saves large users from having to order different battery packs.
