Our 4 Step Process
Contact Us
Looking for a generator for your site? Contact us via the contact form below or give us a call to get started with your critical power solution
Tell us your requirements
Our team will discuss your requirements with you, explaining the options available to you.
Site survey
One of our highly skilled generator engineers will visit your site to map out to take note of your power requirements, where the generator will be installed, answering any questions you may have
Delivery, installation & commissioning
Once the order has been placed, our team will then install your generator on site. We also carry out rigorous commissioning processes to ensure that your equipment is ready to support your site.
UPS Battery Systems
Batteries systems are a crucial part of any UPS configuration, along with a well-designed installation. Together, these will help prevent any form of weakness in your power protection system and will result in less business downtime should there be an electricity outage.
At Vital Power our team of UPS engineers can advise on all aspects of battery backup system design for your business, taking into consideration site specifics such as load, autonomy, space restrictions, and environment.
Although most UPS systems can automatically test their batteries, regular maintenance should also be undertaken to ensure the integrity of the installation. It’s important to regularly check your UPS battery health. Vital Powers standard suggestions would include the following services:
- Battery cell voltage
- Battery string voltage
- Battery float voltage
- Visual inspection of terminals and connections for corrosion
- Visual inspection of block casing for evidence of external structure failure
- Ambient room temperature
- General installation condition
UPS Battery Impedance Testing
Although vital, we know that full battery replacements can be very costly. This is which is why UPS impedance testing is a cost-effective way to determine whether you can undertake a cheaper approach.
At Vital Power we will provide a reliable, low-cost solution to check the status of your batteries before suggesting you make any costly decisions to replace all batteries.
Quite often, only a small percentage of the batteries within the overall UPS system will be deemed faulty. Then, these can be replaced easily by our engineers without any downtime or risk to your critical load.
Battery impedance testing can also give an accurate prediction as to when the UPS battery is at end of its life cycle, so that a proactive approach can be taken for your overall power budgets and to make sure your UPS system is ready to go at a moment’s notice.
UPS Battery Replacements
If we find that your battery systems do require a full replacement, Vital Power’s UPS experts will complete a full operation capability (FOC) site survey. This helps to establish site restrictions and formulate a plan to complete the replacement with as little interruption as possible, whilst remaining cost effective.
We are proud to be the supplier of the majority of leading battery manufacturers. Thanks to our trusted reputation and years of experience, we have obtained a premium rate as part of our ongoing relationships with UPS suppliers to offer our customers the best value. We also have full access to off the shelf stock when urgent replacements are needed – this can crucially reduce lead time and get you back up and running quickly.
