Telecom Base Station Backup Power Solution: Design Guide for
Long Cycle Life LiFePO4 batteries can achieve over 2,000 cycles, and in some cases up to 5,000 cycles, far surpassing the 300–500 cycles of lead-acid batteries. This
Allow your system 48 hours to recharge the system battery. If the problem persists 48 hours after AC power has been restored, your battery should be replaced. Please refer to the Identify Your System Battery page to determine which battery your system uses.
