The primary purpose of battery backup power supply (through UPS batteries) is to support the critical load during a time of utility outage or whenever the utility power is out of the standard operating range. The generators will then supply power to all critical equipment, if they are available.
UPS batteries can represent a single point of failure in the event of a utility outage. For that reason, battery backup power supply should be tested often and monitored to ensure all components operate according to the manufacturer’s specifications and to give you (and upper management) peace of mind.
