8.0Storing the UPS

8.1Storage conditions

The UPS should be covered and stored in an upright position, in a cool, dry location. The UPS 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 UPS is switched off for storage.

8.2 Extended storage

To achieve expected run time following extended storage, the UPS should be allowed to refresh the battery for 12 hours once every 6 months in environments 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.
