VI.
REPLACING THE BATTERY (QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY)
Please read all of the
WARNINGS
and
CAUTIONS
before attempting to service the batteries. Typical battery life is 3 to 5 years.
Environmental factors do affect battery life. High temperatures, poor utility power, and frequent, short duration discharges have a
negative impact on battery life.
WARNING!
This UPS-1000-Li-2 contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the UPS-1000-Li-2 beyond
the battery replacement procedure. This UPS-1000-Li-2 contains no user serviceable parts. Repairs and battery replacement must be
performed by
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
CAUTION:
Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. The batteries in this UPS-1000-Li-2 are recyclable.
Dispose of the batteries properly. The batteries contain lead and pose a hazard to the environment and human health if not disposed of
properly. Refer to local codes for proper disposal requirements.
CAUTION:
The battery system can present a risk of electrical shock. These batteries produce sufficient current to burn wire or tools
very rapidly, producing molten metal. Observe these precautions when replacing the batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use hand tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear protective eye gear (goggles), rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or other metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting the battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If the battery is, remove the source of the grounding. Contact with any part of a
grounded battery can result in an electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced, if such grounds are removed during
installation and maintenance.
CAUTION:
Replace batteries with the same number and type as originally installed in the UPS-1000-Li-2. These batteries have
pressure operated vents. These UPS-1000-Li-2s contain sealed non-spillable maintenance-free lead acid batteries.
