BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
PLEASE READ THE PREVIOUS “CAUTIONS” SECTION BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES
Battery replacement is a safe procedure when cautions and instructions are carefully
followed. You may leave the UPS and the loads on for the following procedure.
700, 1000 and 1400VA Models
1.
Reach into the finger pull on the front of the UPS and open the front cover. Swing the
cover open as shown and remove.
2.
Use a screwdriver to remove the battery door screws and open the door.
3.
Disconnect the battery leads in the following order. Red wire first. Yellow jumper wire
second and Black wire last. Loosen the connectors by gently wiggling them while
pulling to the right of the battery connector. NOTE: Note the connections between the
batteries, so proper connections are made when installing the new batteries.
4.
Grasp the battery tabs in numerical order and gently pull each battery out one at a
time. For models with four batteries, repeat step 3 for the rear batteries. NOTE: The
red and black wire will need to be moved to the right side of the opening so the left
battery can be removed and to the left side of the opening so the right battery can be
removed. NOTE: Be careful when removing the batteries since they are heavy.
5.
Install the new batteries by placing the right battery in first followed by the left
(reversing the order from which they were removed). As in step 4, the red and black
wire will need to be moved to the left side of the opening so the right battery can be
installed and to the right side of the opening so the left battery can be installed.
Connect the battery leads to the new battery as shown in the following order.
Connect the BLACK wire to the negative (-) terminal first. Then connect the Yellow
jumper wire between the batteries. The RED wire is the last connection. Connect the
RED wire to the positive (+) terminal.
NOTE: Small sparks at the battery connection are normal during battery connection. Close
the door, replace the battery compartment screws, and replace the front cover.
6.
Dispose of the battery at an appropriate recycling facility or return it to Minuteman in
the packing material from the new battery kit.
