Specific identification of genuine and fake UPS units

Thread Content

Fake Schneider UPS units may have a battery output voltage of between 150-180V when the mains power is lost; this is far below the specified value of 220V ±10%. Moreover, the battery’s charge is depleted after only 1-3 minutes of power supply, which is not in line with the specified duration of 7-15 minutes. Since the introduction of telephone verification numbers for authenticity checks, counterfeit Santak UPS units have changed their methods of fraud. Previously, they were fake versions of the entire unit; now, they use genuine casings but fake batteries. As a result, no discrepancies can be detected during telephone verification, but in reality it may still be a counterfeit UPS. JS removes the original batteries and sells them at high prices, replacing them with fake batteries before selling the UPS at normal price. The specific methods for distinguishing between genuine and fake UPS units are as follows: 1. First, the UPS unit’s casing either has no seal or the seal is damaged. 　2. The SANTAK UPS uses high-quality **sealed batteries; these batteries are made by black injection molding, and the genuine ones have a smooth, glossy surface with straight and rounded edges.** Fake batteries, on the other hand, have an uneven surface, lack luster, and have sharp edges. 　3. On the front of the battery, there is a **product logo printed in white paint, along with the main specifications of the product; the printing is fine, clear, and easily readable. Counterfeit products have blurred printing or no such markings at all. 　4. The first row of raised numbers in the upper left corner of the side surface of the battery is cast using the injection molding distance; it is very difficult to replicate. The second row contains numbers printed in white paint; generally, the authenticity can be determined by checking whether there are numbers in the first row, and as for whether the numbers are valid, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer. 　5. In the exact center of the bottom surface, there is a raised uppercase letter “S” that was cast using the injection molding process; it is about 0.6 MM in size, corresponding to size 5 printing letters. The shape of this letter is delicate and attractive, and counterfeit products do not have this feature. 　6. Additionally, there is another type of counterfeit battery whose casing is made of milky-white, semi-transparent soft plastic; it’s possible to determine whether it’s genuine at a glance.
