EPS Emergency Power Supply Maintenance and Precautions
By Sunlooker | Reliable Energy Solutions for Every Emergency
1. What Is an EPS Emergency Power Supply System?
An EPS (Emergency Power Supply) system is a crucial backup solution that provides power to critical equipment during unexpected outages or voltage fluctuations. It typically consists of input/output units, a charging module, a battery pack, an inverter, a monitoring device, and an output switching unit.
At Sunlooker, our EPS systems are engineered to deliver consistent and stable power for essential facilities such as security systems, emergency lighting, communication centers, and industrial controls. The design ensures a seamless transition from main power to emergency supply within milliseconds, guaranteeing that operations remain uninterrupted.
2. Why Regular Maintenance Matters
The battery pack is the core component of an EPS system and also its most vulnerable part. Without regular maintenance, battery capacity decreases over time, charging efficiency declines, and the risk of system failure increases significantly.
Common issues caused by poor maintenance include:
Reduced battery capacity and shortened service life
Poor charging efficiency and thermal instability
Increased internal resistance and sulfation of battery plates
Failure to activate during critical power loss
Regular EPS maintenance ensures:
Reliable operation during outages
Prolonged battery and system lifespan
Reduced operational and repair costs
Enhanced safety and performance stability
3. Key Precautions for Safe and Efficient Operation
Below are essential precautions collected from industry standards and Sunlooker’s engineering experience to keep your EPS system in optimal condition.
（1） Avoid Over-Charging
Excessive charging can cause battery plates to warp and the active materials to fall off, resulting in capacity loss or permanent damage. Always use a charging controller that maintains proper voltage and current levels.
（2） Avoid Over-Discharging and Short-Circuits
Deep discharges can lead to sulfation on the battery plates and increase internal resistance, greatly reducing battery life. Over-discharging may also prevent the battery from recovering full capacity after charging.
（3） Prevent Over-Voltage Charging
When the charging voltage is too high, electrolysis occurs inside the battery, causing the electrolyte to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen. This not only increases pressure but can also lead to leakage and premature battery failure.
（4）Avoid Long-Term Idle State
Leaving the EPS system unused for months without discharge cycles will accelerate internal resistance growth and reduce battery capacity. Perform periodic load tests to keep the system active.
（5） Maintain Proper Environment and Monitoring
Store and operate the system in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. Extreme temperatures and humidity can severely impact battery life. Use Sunlooker’s monitoring interface to track voltage, current, temperature, and internal resistance data in real time.
