Ensure your UPS batteries are actually STANDING BY.
It only takes the failure of one battery to compromise the entire string. It is often assumed that batteries are meticulously maintained, but this is rarely so. Many batteries are not inspected or maintained beyond an annual UPS service visit. Unknown and undetected battery failures become apparent right at the time when you need the batteries most - during a mains failure.
UPS systems provide only rudimentry battery monitoring. The UPS cannot identify faults within individual batteries, nor detect an imbalance in the performance of multiple strings. To ensure the integrity of the battery system, it is neccessary to detect failing batteries before they afferct the performance of the entire system.
