aside for reassembly.
3. Gently pull battery wiring out and disconnect the battery connector.
4. Grasp the battery assembly, and pull it out of the UPS.

quantity and voltage rating (see specifications). If so, proceed with step 6;
otherwise STOP and contact your dealer or LTS.

outward. Connect the battery connector together.

This is normal and will not harm you or the UPS.

pushing it toward the front of the UPS. Replace and tighten the five screws
