Transcript
On a large UPS, the battery string is the most critical and the most perishable component of the system. Replacing it is not a one-person, one-hour job. It is an on-site procedure: professional replacement, post-installation calibration and certified recycling, for all brands and battery technologies, across Canada. Here is what a professional string replacement actually involves.
It starts with testing. Impedance testing and individual cell voltage measurement identify the weak batteries, load and runtime testing before the swap, and torque and polarity checks on the connections, so the replacement is matched to what the site actually draws, not just to the part number on the old string.
Then matched replacement batteries go in: certified compatible cells or cartridges, with common models in stock for fast turnaround. VRLA, AGM or lithium-ion batteries, matched as a set, installed on-site with a bypass procedure to maintain power during the swap, and the charger is calibrated with a full load test so the UPS trusts its new numbers.
And the old string leaves: removed from site, with certified recycling documentation that certifies where every battery went.
It closes the way every service visit should: with a written report. Photos, measurements, and the new runtime numbers on record.
That is the whole job: test, match, swap, calibrate, document. On-site, in or out of warranty, for single units and mixed-brand fleets: APC and Eaton and Powerware systems, Vertiv Liebert, Tripp Lite and Mitsubishi units. Same-day in Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and Ottawa, 24 to 48 hours elsewhere, and around the clock when it cannot wait.
If your battery strings are past their date, it is one call to GDF Technologies at 514-252-8324, and the quote comes back within 4 business hours, in French and in English.
UPS Battery types we service
VRLA / AGM
Valve-regulated lead-acid batteries, the standard for most commercial and industrial UPS systems. Typical lifespan: 3 to 5 years depending on ambient temperature. Every 10°C above 25°C cuts battery life in half.
Lithium-Ion
High energy density technology for next-generation UPS (APC Smart-UPS SRT Li-Ion, Eaton 9PX Li-Ion). 8 to 10 year lifespan, 50% smaller footprint, better high-temperature tolerance.
Flame Retardant
UL94-V0 certified enclosure batteries for environments requiring extra fire protection: hospitals, tunnels, oil & gas facilities, and server rooms without suppression systems.

What replacement day looks like
The technician arrives with the cells specified for your model, confirms the unit state and alarm history, and moves the load to bypass where the platform supports it. Old cells come out with polarity and torque checks on every connection going back in. The new string gets an impedance baseline so next year’s readings mean something, then a load and transfer test proves the system before sign off. Old batteries leave with us for regulated recycling, with documentation on request.
One battery or the whole string?
Cells in a series string age together. Mixing new cells into an old string drags the new ones down to the condition of their neighbours, which is why the standard practice is to replace the string as a set once it reaches end of life. For APC units, the RBC cross reference guide identifies the exact pack; for runtime questions, the calculator shows what fresh batteries restore. If the unit is still sounding, Decode the APC alarm before you order a battery so the replacement is the right call and not a guess.
