Storing the UPS and Batteries

If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every

6 months by plugging the UPS into a power outlet. The batteries charge to 90% capacity in approximately 3 hours. However, it is recommended that the batteries charge for 24 hours after long-term storage.

Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the date has expired and the batteries were never recharged, do not use the UPS. Contact your service representative.

When to Replace Batteries

If all four bar graph indicators flash and either the or

indicators are on, the batteries may need replacing. Contact your service representative to order new batteries.

Replacing Batteries

With the hot-swappable battery feature, UPS batteries can be replaced easily without turning the UPS off or disconnecting the load.

If you prefer to remove input power to change the batteries, see “Turning the UPS Off” on page 36.

Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.
