The battery cable or wire used is #1 AWG (42.11 mm2) for all applications with the following exceptions:

:18 kVA models use #1/0 (53.49 mm2) battery cables.

:If the batteries must be some distance from the UPS, you may need to install larger battery cables between the battery cabinets and the UPS. Using long cable runs and larger diameter cables may require modifications inside the UPS; call your service representative if you did not order the longer, larger-diameter cable with the UPS.

The UPS must have a DC disconnect switch or a removable plug so you can disconnect external batteries from the UPS.

:FE/QFE 500 VA–3.1 kVA models have a removable plug at the UPS; the battery cabinet may also have a DC switch.

:Most FE/QFE 4.3–18 kVA models have a DC switch at the battery cabinet. However, some may have a removable plug at the cabinet or between the UPS and the batteries, and others may have an external DC switch. FE/QFE 4.3–18 kVA models also have a DC switch behind the front cover panel.
