Mobile/Rentable UPS systems 2

[oranjeep]

We have a UPS system, and the batteries failed and leaked.
It is outside in a temperature controled shelter unit, protecting it from water and extreme cold.
It has 14 batteries inseries, each about 11 volts.

It has been extremely cold lately.

They are old (over 10 years).
Why-typically-do these batteries fail?
Also, does anyone market UPS systems that are rated for class I, Div 2 and that you can rent? Maybe ther is a system on a trailer or something? Just an idea. Reason is, we will have to wait until mid-February for our replacement batteries to come in.

Hopefully they have what you need. Good luck.

Search for UPS and batteries in this forum for serveral recent discussions on UPS's and battery failures. I don't know of any Cl1 Div2 UPS's but I suppose they might exist.

10 yrs is a good run in my experience.
