UPS MAINTENANCE
ÊStoring the UPS and Batteries
If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every
6 months by connecting the UPS to utility power. The internal batteries charge to 90% capacity in less than 3 hours. However, Eaton recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after
Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the date has passed and the batteries were never recharged, do not use the UPS. Contact your service representative.
ÊWhen to Replace Batteries
When the indicator illuminates, the audible alarm beeps, and the “Battery Needs Service” alarm displays, the batteries may need replacing. Contact your service representative to order new batteries.
ÊReplacing Batteries

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 “UPS
Shutdown” on page 47.
Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.
