Dear friends,

I have a POWERTECH 650 VA UPS. I bought and started using that UPS on 16/10/2014. Today (19/02/2017) after a main power failure, the UPS turned off within 1-2 seconds and hence I could not save my work in my PC. The UPS could not give backup after subsequent power failures.

Should I get a new battery for the UPS or just buy a new one? Which one would be beneficial? How will I know that the UPS will still be functional for a longer time even after the battery has been replaced? I mean will the UPS circuits will still be reliably functional even after the battery has been replaced?

Thanks in advance

I have never heard of that brand but if you know they are a good brand then I would go with a new battery and look to get 2 more years out of it before replacing it.
