SAFETY
Read before attempting battery
replacement! Important Safety Instructions!
Save these instructions!
This manual contains important instructions
and warnings that should be followed during
the installation and operation of all Tripp Lite
Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.s).
WARNING!
• Follow the original UPS system manufacturer’s
instructions and safety information thoroughly
before attempting replacement.
• To eliminate high voltage shock hazard,
be sure the UPS system is turned off and
the power cord is unplugged from the AC
outlet prior to battery replacement. Some
manufacturers permit “hot swap” battery
replacement while the UPS system is
powered. Consult your UPS system’s owner’s
manual for guidance.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire; they may
explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Chemicals released are harmful to the skin
or eyes and may be toxic. Follow first-aid
procedures for chemical burns in the event of
exposure. Use appropriate protective clothing
when handling a leaking battery.
• A battery can present a risk of high current
in the event of a short circuit. High discharge
can lead to severe burns and/or the risk
of fire. Observe the following precautions
when working around high capacity storage
batteries: 1) remove watches, rings or other
metal objects that might come in contact with
battery terminals; 2) use tools with insulated
handles; 3) do not lay tools or metal parts on
top of the battery or near the terminals.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
After following the safety procedures listed
above:
1) Disconnect UPS system from power source.
2) Open battery compartment.
3) Disconnect and recycle used batteries.
Connect new Replacement Battery
Cartridge(s). Note: in order to properly
reconnect multiple batteries, first take note
of battery position and cable connections (by
drawing a sketch) before disconnection.
4) Close battery compartment.

ADDITIONAL RBC SELECTION
Tripp Lite provides a wide range of additional
Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.s).
Consult www.tripplite.com for the most popular
battery recommendations. When making your
selection, whether or not your manufacturer
and/or UPS system model number is listed, it
is prudent to verify the following information:
battery voltage* [example, 12 V (Volts)]; battery
capacity* when optimally charged [example, 7.2
AH (Amp Hours)]; battery dimensions;** and
battery quantity.***
* Usually marked on the battery.
** This is important because manufacturers sometimes
change battery content without changing model numbers.
*** In multiple battery systems, manufacturers recommend
that all batteries be replaced at the same time.
• Compatibility with all UPS systems, when
properly selected
• Completely maintenance-free operation
• Economical pricing
• Rugged construction for long service life
• High discharge rate with deep discharge
recovery
