Sola Hevi Duty S4K6U10000, User Manual

Page: 33 / 48

The S4K6U10000 requires very little maintenance. The batteries are valve-regulated, non-spillable, flame
retardant, lead acid and should be kept charged to obtain their design life. The UPS continuously charges the
batteries when connected to the utility supply.
When storing the UPS for any length of time, it is essential to plug the UPS in for at least 24 hours every four to
six months to ensure full recharge of the batteries. Failure to recharge the batteries periodically will permanently
degrade battery capacity.
The S4K6U10000 is designed to allow the user to safely replace the internal batteries. Read the safety
cautions before proceeding. Contact your local distributor or Sola/Hevi-Duty representative to obtain the
appropriate replacement battery kit part number and pricing.
