ALTHOUGH BATTERY SYSTEM VOLTAGES ARE ONLY 12 VDC AND 24
VDC THE BATTERY SYSTEM CAN STILL PRESENT A RISK. THE
CURRENT CAPABILITY OF A BATTERY IS SUFFICENT TO BURN WIRE
OR TOOLS VERY RAPIDLY, PRODUCING MOLTEN METAL. OBSERVE
THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN REPLACING THE BATTERIES:
1. REMOVE WATCHES, RINGS, OR OTHER METAL OBJECTS;
2. USE HAND TOOLS WITH INSULATED HANDLES;
3. DO NOT LAY TOOLS OR OTHER METAL PARTS ON TOP OF
BATTERIES
REPLACE BATTERIES WITH THE SAME NUMBER AND TYPE AS
ORIGINALLY INSTALLED IN THE UPS. THESE BATTERIES HAVE
PRESSURE OPERATED VENTS.
CAUTION:
DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN A FIRE. THE BATTERIES MAY
EXPLODE.
.
4. Connect the new battery in place of the old one, ensuring that black wire is connected to
the negative (-) terminal and the red wire is connected to the positive (+) terminal. Small
sparks at the battery connection are normal.
5. Place the new battery in the case taking care not to pinch any wires.
6. Slide the battery door back into its slot and replace the retaining screw.
7. Dispose of the battery properly at an appropriate recycling facility or return it to the supplier
