Improve the performance & reliability of
battery-driven UPS systems
Maximizing the performance of the batteries
Batteries are the life-blood of the UPS.
Progressive battery failure due to sulphation reduces the power available from the UPS, and the length of time the UPS can deliver inverter power. The whole point of a UPS is to provide dependable power when all else fails. An emergency system is of little value if it is unreliable.
The long-term effectiveness of a UPS is only as good as the long-term performance of the batteries. Battery sulphation is unavoidable; it slowly but surely throttles batteries causing gradual loss of performance.
Megapulse keeps batteries entirely sulphation-free for their entire working life. As a consequence, battery life expectancy will be much longer, typically double or triple the normal lifetime.
Manufacturers recommend a maximum depth of discharge to prevent short service life of batteries, chiefly by preventing the excessive sulphation which will shorten the life of the battery and reduce its performance. Megapulse allows users to safely deep discharge to the maximum level without fear of damaging the batteries, which means the UPS can provide inverter power for the maximum period.
The cost of Megapulse is a small fraction of the cost of a UPS installation, yet the long-term benefits are out of all proportion to its cost.
Megapulse is just as effective on both small home UPS like the 3kVA unit shown on the right, to larger commercial UPS used in the professional workplace. Usually only one Megapulse is required for a bank of batteries, and the same unit will last many battery lifetimes.
 Above are shown two 5kVA UPS, each supported by a bank of 8 x 260 Ah 48v batteries. |  Only one Megapulse unit is required for each 520 Ah 48v battery bank, which is attached directly across the 48v power feed to the UPS. |

generator UPS systems
Maximizing the starting performance of the batteries
The starter battery is a vital component of an engine-driven UPS.
Progressive battery failure due to sulphation reduces the power and more specifically the starting current available from the battery. The whole point of a UPS or emergency power supply is to provide dependable power when all else fails. A back-up generator is of little value if it doesn't start every time there is a power failure.
Starter motors, particularly on diesel generators, require a high current and large burst of power from the starter battery to operate effectively. Battery sulphation is unavoidable without Megapulse; it slowly but surely throttles batteries causing gradual loss of performance.
Megapulse keeps batteries entirely sulphation-free for their entire working life. As a consequence, battery life expectancy will be much longer, typically double or triple the normal lifetime.
The cost of Megapulse is a small fraction of the cost of a UPS installation, yet the long-term benefits are out of all proportion to its cost.
Megapulse is just as effective on small petrol generators and large 3-phase diesel installations. It's the same old battery that starts them, and that's what Megapulse keeps going month after month. Usually only one Megapulse is required for each generator, and the same unit will last many battery lifetimes.
