High Rate Batteries for UPS
High rate batteries are designed for UPS applications, which require a higher rate of discharge for a short amount of time. For example, assume you have a UPS connected to your computer for backup power. Unlike smaller equipment, such as a fan or a lamp, computers consume a lot more power. This means that they would require a higher rate of discharge when running on a UPS. If the power cuts off, the UPS should keep the computer turned on for some time, in order to allow you to save your work and to safely shut down the computer.
If your UPS is equipped with a standard battery instead of a high rate battery, the computer will discharge the battery at a higher rate than what it is designed for, which would damage the battery, causing it to never fully recharge again. Batteries such as general purpose or deep cycle, are designed to be discharged at a slower rate. This why it is important to ensure that your UPS is equipped with a high rate battery. If you live in an area with very rare power outages, let’s say once or twice a year, then you could instead use an extended life battery.
