UPS and Battery Care

For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS

clean and dustĆfree. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of

the system with a vacuum cleaner.
For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of

25°C (77°F).

Storing the UPS and Batteries

If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every

10 months by connecting the UPS to a power source. The batteries

charge to 90% capacity in approximately 4 hours. However, it is

recommended that the batteries charge for 6 to 24 hours after long-term

storage.

Replacing Batteries

With the hotĆswappable battery feature, UPS batteries can be replaced

easily without turning the UPS off or disconnecting the load.
If you prefer to remove input power to change the battery, press and

hold the button until the long beep ceases (approximately five

seconds). Then unplug or remove utility power from the UPS.
Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.
