Battery Backup Time and Discharge Process
The UPS unit's batteries provide about 7 minutes of back-up time for the 2.4kVA,
3.6kVA, 6 kVA, and 8 kVA models. These times are valid when the unit is operating
under full load and the output capacity has been derated to 87% of nominal (input or
output voltage is 208Vac). When these models are operating at half load, the batteries
can provide about 30 minutes of back-up time. The exact length of these times will
depend on the UPS model used, condition of the batteries, amount and type of load,
temperature and other variables. See battery backup time in the Standard Specifications
section 5.1.
The following illustration graphically shows the battery discharge process at full load
conditions.

Battery Low Voltage Tolerances
Excessive discharge will cause the UPS unit's battery voltage to drop. The chart shown
below lists the voltage level at which each UPS unit's low-voltage alarm will sound and
also at what level the low-voltage condition will cause the unit to automatically shut down.
