Using an offline UPS battery backup can be a more economical option for businesses than using an online or line-interactive UPS battery backup through their entire location, so it makes sense that most small businesses or start up businesses go for an offline UPS battery backup system at first. Remember it is very important to have your RBC7 battery backup system tested regularly and this is something you can do in house or sub out to a testing company. Regular testing of the system should be done according to a schedule.

A smart and simple way to keep track is to write on a calendar each date that the backup system should be tested and then when the battery tester has finished the testing process that person can make a big red “X” through the date so it’s clear when the test was done.
