A staff member described a planned large-scale battery replacement at the county dispatch center, saying, "We have 197 UPS batteries that we have to change." The batteries power multiple UPS units that keep dispatch systems running until generators engage.
The staff member said vendors typically recommend replacement every three to five years, but the county aims to replace batteries every two years to prioritize reliability. They noted some UPS units contain eight batteries and that there are about ten such units in dispatch, underscoring the scale of the replacement effort. The work was presented as routine preventive maintenance to maintain uninterrupted emergency communications.
