Operation – Battery Replacement

Battery Module removal

Two people to lift components weighing between 40 - 70 lbs / 18 - 32 kg.

Follow the below procedures if you need to change or add a Battery Module, e.g. if you receive a display message reporting a bad battery, or if you need to add batteries for increased runtime:

XRUPS

When removing Battery Modules, start from the highest level and work down.

Holding the battery handle, gently push the battery unit upwards and pull it halfway out of the Enclosure. A lock mechanism prevents it from being pulled all the way out.

To release the battery from the lock mechanism, one person gently pushes the battery upwards again and pulls it out, while the other person supports the battery.

How to install a Battery Module

If additional batteries are needed for extra run-time, or if you install battery replacement modules etc., follow the below procedure:

CAUTION!

Wait until you are ready to power up the system before installing Battery Modules in the UPS. Failure to do so can result in a deep discharge of the batteries and cause permanent damage (the time from the battery installation time till the UPS is powered up should not exceed 72 hours or 3 days).
