Maintenance-free batteries for systems where the backup cannot be a guess.

Challenge
Aga Khan University, a globally recognised institution for education and research, relies on uninterrupted power for research labs, data centres and essential infrastructure. The batteries inside the supporting UPS are the component most likely to fail without warning, so selecting a trusted, responsive power-solutions provider was critical to protecting systems that cannot tolerate an interruption.
Solution
Proactive Networks supplied high-performance, maintenance-free batteries for the university’s UPS, matched to the runtime and load of the protected systems and free of the routine electrolyte servicing that conventional cells demand. Battery condition is monitored as part of ongoing support, so state of health is tracked against age rather than discovered at the point of failure.
Outcome
Critical systems across research labs, data centres and infrastructure ride through grid disturbances on backup whose capacity is verified rather than assumed. Moving to maintenance-free batteries removes a recurring upkeep burden while keeping reported and real backup capacity aligned.
