8.0Storing the UPS

8.1Storage conditions

The PowerCell should be covered and stored in an upright position, in a cool, dry location. The PowerCell should be stored with the battery in a fully charged state. This means that the UPS should be allowed to charge the battery for at least 6 hours before the PowerCell is switched off for storage.

8.2 Extended storage

To achieve expected run time following extended storage, the PowerCell should be allowed to refresh the battery for 12 hours once every 6 months in environ- ments where the ambient temperature is -15°C to +30°C (5°F to 86°F). For extended storage in environments where the ambient temperature is +30°C to +45°C (86°F to 113°F), the UPS should be allowed to refresh the battery for 12 hours once every month.
