At -15 to +30 °C (+5 to +86 °F), charge the UPS battery every six months.

At +30 to +45 °C (+86 to +113 °F), charge the UPS battery every three months.

Replacing the Battery Module

This UPS has an easy to replace, hot-swappable battery module. Replacement is a safe procedure, isolated from electrical hazards. You may leave the UPS and connected equipment on for the follow- ing procedure. See your dealer or contact APC at the web site, www.apc.com for information on re- placement battery modules.
