Storage
The UPS may be stored for extended periods in an environment that does not subject the
UPS to extremes of temperature or humidity. When storing for extended periods, the battery
should be charged every six months. If the storage location is characterized by above normal
temperature, the battery should be recharged every two months. The UPS does not need to
be turned on for charging to occur
–
it only needs to be plugged in with batteries connected.
NOTE:
This product is not designed for continuous use on batteries.
Attention
Important Information
The batteries inside this UPS
are a special type called “sealed lead
-
acid”. These batteries
use a non-liquid electrolyte, which makes it possible to use them in any physical
orientation. The batteries are designed to last from two to five years. Their actual life
span will depend on several factors, including how often power outages occur, how
long power outages last, and the temperature of the environment in which the UPS
operates. Frequent, long duration power outages will shorten battery life more than
infrequent, short duration outages. Consistent high temperatures in the area where the
UPS is used will also shorten battery life.
The UPS is equipped with a Low/Replace Battery LED ( ) on the front panel. If the LED
illuminates, you should make sure that the battery has at least six hours to charge without a
power interruption. Inadequate (much shorter than usual) backup time, premature low
battery alarm sounds, and persistent Low/Replace Battery LED illumination are all good
signs that the batteries inside your UPS requires replacement. The batteries inside your
UPS are designed to be replaced by authorized service personnel only.
