How long does it take for the UPS batteries to recharge?

On average, it takes 10 times the discharge time for the UPS batteries to recover. (A 30-minute battery discharge requires about 300 minutes to recharge.) After each power outage, the recharge process begins immediately. It’s important to note that the load is fully protected while the batteries are recharging, but if the batteries are needed during that time, the holdover time available will be less than it would have been if the batteries were fully charged.
