Internal Battery Replacement

Under normal conditions, the original batteries in your UPS will last many years. See Safety section before replacing batteries. The batteries are designed for hot-swap replacement (i.e. leaving the UPS ON), but some qualified service personnel may wish to completely turn the UPS OFF and disconnect equipment before proceeding.

Storage

Before storing your UPS, turn it completely OFF. If you store your UPS for an extended period of time, recharge the UPS batteries for 4 to 6 hours once every three months. Note: after you connect the UPS to utility power, it will automatically begin charging its batteries. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
