Introduction

Tripp Lite external battery packs are designed for use with various Tripp Lite UPS systems equipped with external battery pack connectors. Before connecting your battery pack to a UPS, make certain that the battery pack voltage matches the DC operating voltage of the UPS. Refer to labeling on the rear panel of the UPS, or call Customer Service at (773) 869-1234. When used with the appropriate Tripp Lite UPS, the battery packs meet UL standard 1778.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING! The mounting shelves are not intended to support more than one battery pack. Do not stack multiple battery packs on a single set of mounting shelves. Failure to follow this warning may lead to product damage and/or a risk of personal bodily harm.

To avoid risk of electrical shock or equipment damage, make certain that the battery pack is suitable for the UPS for which it is intended. Refer to labeling on the rear panel of the UPS, or call Customer Service at (773) 869-1234.

•Use caution when lifting Battery Packs. Because of the considerable weight of all Rackmount Battery Packs, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.

•36V and 72V Battery Packs and UPS systems use identical power cables and plugs; make certain that your Battery Packs and UPS use the same DC voltage before connecting them.

•Suggested mounting procedures are for common rack types and may not be appropriate for all rack configurations. User must determine the fitness of rack- and wallmount hardware and procedures before mounting.

•When connecting multiple Battery Packs to a single UPS, the Battery Packs should be approximately the same age.

•It is normal for sparks to occur inside external battery connectors during final battery connec- tion.

•Do not unplug external batteries from the UPS while the UPS is operating on battery power, due to the possibility of dangerous arcing.

•There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Battery Packs. Do not open the Battery Packs for any reason.

•Because batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, observe proper precautions. Unplug the Battery Pack from the UPS before performing battery replacement. Do not short or bridge battery terminals with any object. Use tools with insulated handles. Remove metal objects such as watches and rings before working with batteries. Do not open batteries. Replace batteries only with sealed lead-acid batteries of the same number, type, voltage and amp hour capacity.

•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries are recyclable. Proper disposal of batteries is required; refer to your local codes for disposal requirements. In the USA only, you may call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information.
