Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from
the UPS. Press the power button
and disconnect the unit from AC power. Your UPS will be
completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your
UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the
UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing the power button
and allow the batteries
to recharge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of
time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
