sorted byIn practice, the battery life is 3-5yrs. I usually recommend that the battery is replaced between 4 and 5yrs.
The battery should be inspected periodically. It may be 'maintenance free', but that doesn't mean 'fit and forget'.
Without access to specialist test equipment (multimeter, current clamp, load bank, impedance/conductance tester), carry out a visual check at least every 6 months, and a 'load test'.
Look for signs of splitting/swelling, terminal corrosion or growth, leaking. Pull the main power cable out, let the system run on battery and see how long it lasts.
If you're satisfied after performing these basic visual checks, and are happy with the run time, then leave it for 6 months. Put a bit tape on the ups, and write the time it ran on battery for, on the tape.
You'll see the battery run time degrade over the life of the battery. Assuming the visuals are OK, swap the battery when the run time becomes unacceptable, or every 5yrs at the latest.
No noise from it and the battery pops out you have to do this to connect it before use.
Looks like a APC lid on a standard block so cheap to change.
USE - router to keep you ip address on smart equipment, server which I have set to shut down after 5 mins.
plug in a led lamp for light. usb to charge a phone.
NO use - your not going to run a tv etc sound bars to watch films
Powercut - your off to be on your phones tablets etc.
GAS - wonderful stuff for boiling weter for a brew.

I don't know what the tolerance is and cba looking, but 207 - 253V (+/- 10% based on 230V) shouldn't be too far off.
Regarding Battery changing: if you're confident at changing the battery yourself, then consider buying the battery monobloc/s rather than the APC RBC. It's significantly cheaper. A short Google search will tell you the Ah of your original battery, and the fitting type (usually F2 - a push on/ pull off connector) (edited)
Just looked Tech data sheet all about output but nothing about how much UPS using power on it is own ?
I know battery is discharging and need constant charge so this consume power ?
PowerOutput power400
WInput operation voltage (min)

266 VOutput operation voltage (min)

It says the min temp is 0 degrees C and the Max is 40 degrees C
