Batteries
The service life of the batteries in this UPS and BP is from 3 to 5 years, depending on the operating
temperature and number of discharge cycles.
A healthy battery is critical to the performance of the UPS. An automatic quick battery test is performed
regularly to ensure failsafe operation. When the condition of the battery is critical, a REPLACE BATTERY
alarm will be activated. Replace the batteries as soon as possible.
General Guidelines:
•
When replace the batteries, use all the same type and size.
•
Never short the battery terminals. Shorting may cause the battery to
burn. When working with batteries, remove watches, rings or other
metal objects, and only use insulated tools.
•
Avoid charging batteries in a sealed container.
•
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for
disposal requirements.
•
Never dispose of batteries in fire - they may explode.
•
Never dismantle or reassemble batteries - their contents (electrolyte)
may be extremely toxic. If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately
with plenty of water. If eye contact occurs, flush with water and contact
a physician.
