UPS Battery Services

It is highly discouraged. A UPS string is only as strong as its weakest cell. Mixing new batteries with old, depleted ones causes the new cells to overcharge and degrade prematurely. For mission-critical reliability, DC Group recommends a full string replacement to ensure uniform performance.

We are brand-agnostic and service all major manufacturers. Our inventory includes the most commonly used sizes of CSB and Enersys batteries with the ability to acquire many other brands like C&D Technologies, Deka, Yuasa, and more. Because we stock commonly used VRLA batteries, we can offer coast-to-coast emergency shipping within 24–48 hours.

Li-ion batteries offer a 40–60% smaller footprint and significantly lower weight than lead-acid (VRLA). They also handle higher ambient temperatures better, reducing your cooling costs. While the initial investment is higher, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is lower due to their 10+ year lifespan and reduced maintenance needs.

Not all legacy systems are “plug-and-play” with Li-ion. Our engineers provide expert guidance on Li-ion upgrades, evaluating your current cabinet and charging parameters to ensure a seamless adoption of the new technology.

Site Sentry™ is our proprietary software that provides 24/7/365 remote monitoring. It tracks individual battery strings and alerts you to anomalies in real-time. This allows our team to identify a failing battery before it causes a system-wide outage.

Yes. We offer coordinated services for individual cell monitoring. This “no detail unchecked” approach measures internal resistance, voltage, and temperature at the cell level, giving you the most granular view of your power health possible.

We strictly adhere to EPA, IEEE, and manufacturer guidelines for the disposal of wet cell and VRLA batteries. As your single-source partner, we ensure all materials are recycled in an eco-friendly manner, providing you with the necessary documentation for your compliance audits.

Our Field Service Engineers (FSEs) are fully trained and follow IEEE 450 (for vented lead-acid) and IEEE 1188 (for VRLA) standards. This ensures every installation meets the highest safety and performance benchmarks required for industrial data centers.

We maintain a massive local and regional inventory to guarantee rapid deployment. Most UPS battery replacements can be shipped coast-to-coast within 24–48 hours, minimizing the window of risk for your critical infrastructure.
