Discuss Exin CDCP Exam Topic 10 Question 52

A UPS has an internal battery tester, do you still need to separately test the batteries at block level?

ANo, as mentioned the battery tester is already built-in the UPS.

BNo, the UPS will automatically generate and alarm when de battery voltage is too low to operate.

CYes, the UPS will only test the batteries at string level which only gives an indication on the overall status of the battery string. Measurements at block level will provide more detailed information on the status and remaining lifetime of the batteries itself.

DTesting batteries using the built-in battery tester or resting the batteries at block level does not increase the battery lifetime, therefore it is not recommended.

Suggested Answer: C

Block-level testing identifies weak or failing individual batteries that may not show up in string-level tests, enhancing overall system reliability.

I think we still need to test at block level. The built-in tester isn't enough.

It’s about thoroughness. We need to know the battery's actual health.

But isn’t the built-in tester reliable? Why complicate things?

A built-in tester is handy, but it’s not enough.

I vaguely recall that testing at block level can help identify issues before they become critical, but I’m not entirely confident about the specifics.

I think I came across a similar question where they emphasized the importance of block-level testing for accurate battery health.

Bonita 4 months ago

I’m not sure, but I feel like the UPS alarms are just for low voltage, not for detailed health checks.

Jennie 5 months ago

I remember studying that the built-in tester only checks the overall battery string, so I think block-level testing is still necessary.
