Maintenance

Rackmount Battery Packs require no maintenance but should be kept dry at all times. Avoid installation in locations with high heat and/or humidity. The Battery Packs should be kept fully charged by being connected to an active UPS system, not left in a depleted condition. Batteries left in a discharged state will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Troubleshooting

There is a fuse array inside the Battery Packs. If a heavy overload or short circuit is encountered, a fuse will open (blow). A Battery Pack with a blown fuse will deliver no output voltage at any load. A qualified technician must replace the fuses. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for additional information.

Internal Battery Replacement

The batteries in the Battery Packs will eventually wear out and be unable to provide adequate backup times. The batteries should only be replaced by factory authorized service personnel. Tripp Lite offers an exchange program for North American customers wherein they may exchange worn-out Battery Packs for new ones at a price comparable to the cost of individual battery replacement. For more details, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1234.

Storage

Disconnect your Battery Pack’s power cable before storing. If you plan to store your Battery Pack for an extended period of time, fully recharge its batteries every three months by connecting it to a UPS that is connected to AC input for 4-6 hours.

Service

If returning your Battery Pack to Tripp Lite for service, please pack it carefully in its ORIGINAL PACKING MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of your problem. If the UPS is within the 2-year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
