 Testing existing UPS units in-place is not simple and **failing UPS units can cause very difficult-to-troubleshoot problems**.  Generally, we mark UPS units when we install them with the date of installation.  Then, we refer to that date when any question of UPS efficacy comes up.  We have found new UPS units are generally quite reliable up to 2.5 years of age.  After that point, we just replace them rather than spend time troubleshooting them...it's just more cost-effective.
