Recommended duration of use

Although tests and a multitude of customer experiences have shown no noticeable performance issues with UPSs for significant time periods after expiration of the 3-year limited warranty, we strongly recommend considering replacing UPSs after a maximum of 5 to 6 years of use to assure full functionality and a safe operating environment. This recommendation does not extend or in any way alter the warranty for UPSs which is limited to a time period of 3 years and a coverage as stated in the applicable warranty statement.
