Maintenance
Battery
The lithium polymer battery cells in the battery pack do not need any maintenance. In particular,
unlike a lead acid battery a lithium polymer battery does not need to re-charged on a regular
basis to avoid degradation of its energy storage capacity. Care should only be taken in ensure
that they are not stored at a temperature outside their specified storage temperature range of
-40
o
C to +65
o
C (-40
o
F to +150
o
F).

CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes. It may be toxic.
Always use the proper SynQor battery pack. See the battery replacement chart on page 43.
Fans
The fans on the rear panel have sealed bearings that do not require any regular maintenance.
Fan assemblies are user replaceable with kits available from SynQor. Please contact the SynQor
factory for obtaining fan replacement kits.
Cleaning
The UPS-1500 unit has a sealed chamber for its electronics and the battery pack that is weather-
proof. Only the fans on the rear panel are exposed to the environment, and these fans are
also weather-proof. The unit can therefore be cleaned without concern of getting liquids inside
the chamber. NOTE, however, that if the cables have been removed from the connectors the
connectors should have their covers installed. If they are not, then care should be taken to not
get excess liquid on the connector terminals. ALSO NOTE that care should be taken to not get
excess liquid on the switch of the AC BREAKER on the back panel.
Cleaning should be done either with soap and water or with an Isopropyl alcohol and water
mixture. A soft cloth should be used.
Do not immerse the unit in water to clean it.
