2. Batteries are essential part of reserve power systems, delivering reliability for energy backup power, UPS systems, telecommunications, emergency lightning, medical equipment, fire security alarms and many others.

3. Batteries capacity deteriorate during time under normal operation, which exposure to risk normal work of reserve power systems, that they are part of.
Whence it is mandatory to check batteries condition regularly during their service life. With proper maintenance and inspections, end of battery life can be predicted, thereby replacement can be done without emergency reserve power drop outs.
