Handling the Battery Pack
The operating temperature range of the battery pack is -20
o
C to +55
o
C (-4
o
F to +130
o
F). The
battery pack’s internal electronic circuitry will disable the battery if the cell temperatures are
outside this temperature range. The SynQor UPS is equipped with internal battery heaters
which activate to keep the cells above 0
o
C in cold ambient temperatures.
The storage temperature range of the battery pack is -40°C to +65°C (-40
o
F to +150
o
F). Long
term storage outside this temperature range will lead to a permanent reduction in the battery’s
energy storage capapcity.
When the battery pack is not inserted into the UPS, the internal electronic circuitry disconnects
the battery from the pack’s power terminals. Nevertheless, care should be taken to avoid making
metal contact with (or between) any of these terminals.
The battery pack has its own aluminum chassis that protects its battery cells and internal
electronic circuitry from the environment when the pack is not inserted into the UPS. However,
care should be taken to ensure this chassis and the exposed power terminal strip is not subjected
to extreme mechanical shock or to excessive moisture.
UPS battery packs must be shipped per Federal DOT Regulations as a Class 9 Fully Regulated
Hazardous Material. The battery pack must not be installed in the UPS when being shipped, and
it must be packaged in the original SynQor Shipping Carton (including inner protective inserts)
which has been approved for shipping this product. The shipping carton must be appropriately
labeled per applicable Federal DOT Requirements. A UPS may be shipped using standard shipping
methods if it does not contain a battery pack. Please contact SynQor for further assistance.
The battery pack should be disposed in accordance with applicable regulations of the locality or
returned to a factory-authorized Service Center.
