6.2 Batteries - General
The service life of the battery is from 3 to 6 years, depending on the operating conditions
(mainly temperature and number of discharge cycles).
As a healthy battery is critical to the performance of the UPS, it is advised to regularly perform
a battery test to ensure failsafe operation (see section 3.3.3). When the condition of the battery
is critical, a 'replace battery' alarm will be activated (see 3.4.5). Have the batteries replaced as
soon as possible. See 6.3.
6.3 Batteries - Replacement
 WARNING: first read the safety rules in sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.4.
 Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.
