
Before disposing of batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as
necklace, wrist watches and rings.

If it is necessary to replace any connection cables, please purchase
the original materials from the authorized distributors or service
centers, so as to avoid overheat or spark resulting in fire due to
insufficient capacity.

Do not dispose of batteries or battery packs in a fire, they may
explode.

Do not open or mutilate batteries, released electrolyte is highly
poisonous and harmful to the skin and eyes.

Do not short the positive and negative of the battery electrode,
otherwise, it may result in electric shock or fire.

Make sure that there is no voltage before touching the batteries.
The battery circuit is not isolated from the input potential circuit.
There may be hazardous voltage between the battery terminals
and the ground.

Even though the input breaker is disconnected, the components
inside the UPS are still connected with the batteries, and there are
potential hazardous voltages. Therefore, before any maintenance
and repairs work is carried out, switch off the breaker of the battery
pack or disconnect the jumper wire of connecting between the
batteries.

Batteries contain hazardous voltage and current. Battery
maintenance should be carried out by qualified personnel who are
knowledgeable about batteries.
