How can I use my UPS to increase life time of it?

Is it good to change the UPS continuously or to charge it few hours before power  on the PC?

Best use of UPS to increase life time

UPS or Uninterrupted Power Supply is a set of batteries that provide emergency powers to devices that are susceptible to break-down due to power interruptions or fluctuations. It is great to help you ensure that these devices or peripherals will last a long time than expected instead of having it break-down in the near-future.

However, like other electric devices, we would like to make sure that our UPS will not easily break-down and that it’ll last more than the price its worth.

For this, we must do a regular equipment testing and schedule maintenance to ensure it is working properly.

When we say maintenance schedule it could be done quarterly, semiannually, or even annually.

If you want to increase life time of your UPS then you have follow some rules.Main part UPS is battery. So the care should be taken for UPS's battery. Please recalibrate your UPS's battery sensor as per six months and change battery after a year or so. Some UPS sellers provide service contracts,so take advantage of it.
