Battery care and storage guidelines

CAUTION: Because of the short shelf life of the batteries, avoid storing a battery spare as a backup. Do not maintain an inventory of spare batteries on site unless a procedure to keep these batteries charged while in storage is implemented.

To maintain the batteries:

Minimize the amount of time the UPS uses battery power by matching the UPS configuration with the utility voltage. See "Selecting the UPS voltage configuration (on page 14)."

Keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. If the environment is very dusty, clean the outside of the UPS regularly with a vacuum cleaner.

Maintain the ambient temperature at 25°C (77°F).

If storing a UPS for an extended period, recharge the batteries every 6 months, and then update the battery recharge date label.

1.(optional) To replace the component with the UPS powered down, refer to "Powering down the UPS (on page 21)."
