An Uninterruptible Power Supply (aka a UPS Battery Backup) protects vital connected equipment -- computers, servers, and telecommunications equipment -- from power outages. During an outage, that small UPS Battery Backup under your desk at work gives you enough time to save your spreadsheet and properly shut down your computer. For data centers, a massive, 8-ton UPS Battery Backup affords operators a chance to bring on backup generators during a power outage. See ourbuying guidancefor information on how to select the right model for your situation.
Regardless of whether you need one under your desk or in your data center, look for UPS Battery Backups that have earned the ENERGY STAR label to save energy and help protect the climate. They are third-party certified to be energy efficient and reduce energy waste by up to 52 percent compared to conventional UPS Battery Backups by minimizing losses in inverters and transformers, offering modular units to avoid oversizing, and/or providing an "eco-mode" of operation.

The choice of UPS is a complicated process and depends on a number of factors, including:
With many sizes and types of UPSs, a buyer must carefully examine each piece of critical equipment to be protected by the UPS -- taking into account the amount of power your combined equipment will draw and the time that this equipment needs to be supported -- and work in an appropriate safety margin to accommodate growth. Several UPS manufacturers provide online guides for office equipment, server rooms and entire data centers. These guides allow you to enter your equipment types and receive recommendations for UPS sizing and type.
In addition, below are white papers that explore the different types of UPSs for data centers:
Current Specification Effective Date: January 1, 2019
The ENERGY STAR Uninterruptible Power Supply specification establishes minimum average efficiencies for UPS battery backups with different rated output power and input dependency characteristics, such as voltage and frequency dependent (VFD), voltage independent (VI), and voltage and frequency independent (VFI). Each of these product types, as well as multi-mode and DC-output/rectifiers, have their own criteria levels, which weight the efficiency of the product by the time spent at a specified proportion of the test load. In addition, ENERGY STAR products meeting the VI and VFI definitions must also have a minimum power factor of 90%.

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provides acquisition guidance for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), a product category covered by ENERGY STAR efficiency requirements.
FEMP''s acquisition guidance and associated ENERGY STAR efficiency requirements for UPS are technology neutral, meaning that one technology is not favored over another. However, ENERGY STAR''s product specification requirements apply to UPS products intended for use in consumer, commercial, telecommunications (DC-output), and data center applications. UPS products that are internal to computers or other electronic devices; designed for industrial applications; part of an electric transmission or distribution system; used in mobile (e.g., marine, airborne) applications; or part of a cable television network are excluded.
This acquisition guidance was updated in December 2022.
Battery lifetime is dependent on ambient temperature. Consider locating the unit in an air-conditioned area. Each 15° Fahrenheit temperature rise decreases lifetime by 50%.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides UPS efficiency levels and product specification information on its ENERGY STAR website. Manufacturers meeting these requirements are allowed to display the ENERGY STAR label on complying models. Get a list of ENERGY STAR-certified UPS.
