Backups UPS

zheavy · September 28, 2014

Hello,

I have a few questions regarding Backup UPS. First of all, I have a TT 630W and 2 monitors and a router plugged into my 1200VA UPS. Power goes off randomly in my country on a daily basis multiple times and needs a couple of mins to get back on, so all i need is that it lasts long enough for the backup generator to start. I used to leave everything on when i first got my UPS, but lately it seems to be dying and not lasting 1-2mins, even if i turn both screens off and get my pc to run idle.

So are my batteries dying or is time to change UPS yet again?

If it's only the batteries that need changing, i checked mine and they are 2* 12V 7Ah batteries. Can i replace those with 9Ah ones for example? do they come as standard size and still fit in my ups?

I'll be ordering the batteries online, so honestly i have no clue if UPS batteries come as a standard size.
