Visual Inspection:
Inspect the UPS unit and surrounding area for any signs of damage, overheating, or debris.
Check for bulging, cracked, or leaking batteries, which indicate a failure and require immediate replacement.
Ensure all cables are securely connected and free from damage.
Ensure there is proper ventilation around the UPS unit, and that air vents are clear of dust and obstructions.
Check for bulging, cracked, or leaking batteries, which indicate a failure and require immediate replacement.
Display & Alarms Check
Environmental Check
Ensure there is proper ventilation around the UPS unit, and that air vents are clear of dust and obstructions.
Confirm the operating temperature is within the manufacturer's specified range. High temperatures can significantly reduce battery life.
Display & Alarms Check:
Verify the UPS display is showing normal operating status.
Test any alarm functions to ensure they are working correctly.
System Logs Review
Review the UPS's internal event logs for any warnings, faults, or unusual events. This can help identify intermittent issues before they become critical.

Review the UPS's internal event logs for any warnings, faults, or unusual events. This can help identify intermittent issues before they become critical.
Battery Load Test:
Perform a controlled discharge test of the batteries. This involves running the UPS on battery power for a short period with a connected load to confirm the batteries can hold a charge and provide the expected runtime.
During the test, monitor the battery voltage to ensure it does not drop too quickly.
Important Notes
Safety First:
Is the overall physical and environmental condition of the unit acceptable?
if the answer is "oneOf [No]"
