Battery Charge and Run Times

A floppy disk is shipped with each battery pack to configure your Smart-UPS for use with each new battery pack added. Your Smart-UPS needs to be configured appropriately so that it can better calculate the discharge time. Connect the UPS’ port to a serial port on a PC or workstation running DOS or Windows, by using the black colored communications cable included. Next, while at the DOS prompt, insert the floppy disk into a drive and change to that drive’s letter (e.g.. A:) Then type: battpack com[X] [Y], where [X] = 1 or 2 depending on the serial port used, and [Y] = number of battery packs attached to the UPS.

The Smart-UPS XL Supplement contains tables showing both the time required for charging UPS and battery pack batteries for rated protection and typical run times.

Replacing the Battery

This battery pack has easy to replace hot-swappable batteries. Battery replacement is a safe procedure, isolated from electrical hazards. You may leave the UPS and loads on for the following procedure. See your dealer or call the number in this manual for information on replacement battery kits.

Note: Please read the cautions in the APC Safety Guide. Save your data before beginning this procedure. Once the battery is disconnected, the loads are not protected from power outages.
