Abstract

Systems and methods of monitoring and controlling a back-up power supply are provided. The back-up power supply can include an uninterruptible power supply system configured with a plurality of primary battery banks maintained in long-term storage and a working battery maintained in an operable state. The back-up power supply system can monitor the condition of a first working battery to determine if the condition is below a performance threshold or a capacity threshold. The uninterruptible power supply system can transition a primary battery bank previously maintained in long-term storage to an operable state and designate the transitioned primary battery as a second working battery. The uninterruptible power supply system can switch the source of power provided by the back-up power supply from the first working battery to the second working battery.
