scope:

This guide provides information on selection, sizing, installation design, installation, maintenance, and testing of stationary standby batteries used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems having an ac output. Design requirements of the UPS components are beyond the scope of this document. While this document applies to all UPS systems, it may be impractical to implement some of its guidance and recommendations with small, self-contained systems, such as products intended to back up individual personal computers.

Purpose

This guide is intended to assist those involved with batteries for uninterruptible power supply systems to make informed decisions regarding the topics covered in 1.1 and the rest of the document.
