Replacing the Batteries

C A U T I O N

Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the battery installation. Risk of electrical shock.

Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.

W A R N I N G

:Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current. The following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

:ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery wiring or connectors. Attempting to alter wiring can cause injury.

:Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the UPS.

To replace the batteries:

Use the same number and type of battery.

To ensure continued superior performance of your UPS and to maintain proper charger operation, you must replace the batteries in the UPS or its battery cabinets or racks with the same number of batteries. These batteries must be the same type as the original batteries: valve-regulated, low-maintenance. The replacement batteries should have the same voltage and ampere-hour rating as the original batteries.

Remove the ground from the battery terminal.

If your local or national code requires you to ground either battery terminal, remove the connection from the terminal to ground (or earth) before you work on the batteries. If any battery terminal is inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground. Contacting any part of a grounded battery can cause a risk of electric shock. An electric shock will be less likely if you disconnect the grounding connection before you work on the batteries.
