Luckily, there are also some easy ways to tell if the batteries in your battery backup need to be replaced, and we’ve put together a quick video to show you all the details. Make the jump to learn how to replace your UPS batteries.

The process of testing, and then if necessary, replacing the batteries in most consumer UPSs is straightforward. This video covers the testing and replacement process for our smaller units, including the  EnSpire ,  Entrust , and  PRO-LCD  series.

As you can see in the video, a few screws and a few minutes are all that stand between you and another 3-5 years of trouble-free service from your UPS if the batteries have gone bad.

Minuteman offers OE-grade replacement batteries  through our website , allowing you to be sure you’re getting the same quality batteries your unit originally came with. In addition, these batteries are put together in single piece modules, eliminating the worry of matching up jumper wires and fumbling with multiple batteries on larger VA-rated units.
