UPS Battery Replacement

1. 

Verify the UPS has been turned off. Reference the picture below detailing a typical 
SG5-6kVA model rear panel and turn the battery disconnect circuit breaker to the 
“OFF” position. 

.

2.

Verify the UPS does not have any extended battery banks connected to the it. 
For models with a PDU, disconnect any cable connected to the extended battery 
connector. For hardwired models, verify no external hardwire connections are made

to 

terminals 4 & 5 of the hardwire terminal block. If connections are visible, locate the 
external battery cabinet(s) and turn the battery disconnect circuit breaker(s) to the 
“OFF” position in the same manner as the UPS in step 1.

3.

If the SG UPS model has an input line cord and plug, unplug the UPS plug from the 
utility outlet. For all other hardwire models, go to step 4.

4.

If the SG UPS model is a hardwire type, locate the building service panel and the 
circuit breaker that powers input to the UPS. Next,  turn the circuit breaker powering 
the UPS to the “OFF” position.

5.

To verify the UPS has been properly disconnected from all energy sources, return to 
the UPS and turn the UPS Input Power Switch to the up or “ON” position. 

THE UPS

SHOULD NOT POWER UP.

Next depress the button marked ON/OFF on the UPS 

front control panel, again 

THE UPS SHOULD NOT POWER UP

. Now turn the UPS

Input Power Switch, down or to the “OFF” position. 

If the UPS should power up upon performing any of the actions in this step, 
recheck steps 1 through 5 in an attempt to determine the AC or DC power 
source that is still  connected to the UPS. All power sources must be 
disconnected from the UPS and a successful completion of step 5 before 
continuing to step 6.
