Replacing the Batteries in the Fortress LI 660

This FTS describes how to replace the batteries in Fortress LI 660 units.
Batteries should be replaced by a qualified technician. If you have any questions or problems,
please call Powerware Global Services at 800-356-5737. (Outside of the U.S. and Canada, call

To replace the batteries, you will need the following:

 

Needle Nose Pliers

*Note: The screwdriver should be six inches long below the handle so you can
replace the inside screws easily. Using a magnetic screwdriver makes removing and
