Battery Care
Battery Temperature
•
For full battery life, keep the ambient temperature around the battery modules to
25°C/77°F.
Battery Service Life
•
The batteries in the battery modules have a 3-5 year service life. The length of service life
varies, depending on the frequency of usage and ambient temperature.
•
Batteries used beyond expected service life will often have severely reduced runtimes.
•
Replace battery modules at least every 5 years to maintain runtimes.
Storing Battery Modules
•
If battery modules are stored then ensure they are recharged every 6 months by
plugging them into a EPS2/EPS5.
The batteries will charge to 90% capacity in approximately 3 hours. However, it is
recommended that they are charged for 24 hours after long-term storage.
•
Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. Do not use the batteries if
the date has expired and the batteries were never recharged. Contact your Eaton dc
product representative for advice.
Battery Disposal and Recycling
Follow Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines or the equivalent local
regulations to dispose of all batteries. Please remember that the owner is responsible and
liable to ensure those EPA guidelines or equivalent local regulations are followed.
