8.0 Storing the UPS

8.1 Storage conditions

The UPS should be covered and stored in a cool dry location. The UPS should be
stored with the Battery Packs in a fully charged state. That is, the reported battery
capacity should be at 100% before the UPS is switched off for storage.
Disconnect any accessories or cables connected to the Computer Interface portsuch
devices may unnecessarily drain the batteries.
Disconnect the battery packs from the UPS and each other (if applicable). Store the
battery packs in an upright position.

8.2 Extended storage

To achieve expected run time following extended storage, the UPS should be allowed
to refresh the Battery Packs 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 Packs every 3 months.
