Falcon Electric, Inc., ( www.falconups.com : ) an award-winning manufacturer of Uninterruptible Power Systems : (UPS) and exhibitor at LabAutomation 2010 (booth #133), today announced a new optional ten-year rated long-life battery in its SG Series UPS Plus : product line.

These batteries are rated to last twice the service life of standard five-year batteries. Since these new batteries cost more, they will remain optional on Falcon’s flagship line of UPSes. The new batteries allow users to operate their Falcon UPS for up to a decade without maintenance.

The new batteries are rated for ten years of expected life in a temperature-controlled environment (up to 25º C). Of equal importance, because of its true

regenerative on-line design : , the SG Series UPS does not fall into the "over-cycling" pitfall imposed by the "buck-boost" feature of line-interactive UPSes.

"The new long-life batteries used in a controlled environment, like an automated lab or computer network, will give users up to a decade without UPS maintenance," explained Paul Newman, Director of Manufacturing-Engineering at Falcon Electric. “Scientists using line-interactive UPSes are thrilled with the idea of not having to maintain their UPS for ten years and of saving a lot of money.”

Typically, batteries are the only element of a UPS that requires regular maintenance, other than a fan that must be replaced after about ten years. Users are instructed to ensure the environment is free of dust, moisture and is well ventilated.

Pricing for the SG Series with the new batteries starts at $79.00 for the 800VA model (SG 800-1T). For more information on the new SG Series UPS Plus, contact Falcon at 800-842-6940 or email rons@falconups.com : mailto:rons@falconups.com .
