TROUBLESHOOTING
There is a fuse array inside the Battery Packs. If a heavy overload or short circuit is encountered, a fuse
will open (blow). A Battery Pack with a blown fuse will deliver no output voltage at any load. A qualified
technician must replace the fuses. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for additional information.
MAINTENANCE
Rackmount Battery Packs require no maintenance but should be kept dry at all times. Avoid installation
in locations with high heat and/or humidity. The Battery Packs should be kept fully charged by being
connected to an active UPS system, not left in a depleted condition. Batteries left in a discharged state will
suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
INTERNAL BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The batteries in the Battery Packs will eventually wear out and be unable to provide adequate backup times.
The batteries should only be replaced by factory authorized service personnel. Tripp Lite offers an exchange
program for North American customers wherein they may exchange worn-out Battery Packs for new ones
at a price comparable to the cost of individual battery replacement. For more details, call Tripp Lite at
(773) 869-1234.
STORAGE
Disconnect your Battery Pack's power cable before storing. If you plan to store your Battery Pack for an
extended period of time, fully recharge its batteries every three months by connecting it to a UPS that is
connected to AC input for 4-6 hours.
SERVICE
If returning your Battery Pack to Tripp Lite for service, please pack it carefully in its ORIGINAL PACKING
MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of your problem. If the UPS
is within the 2-year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
