Extended Battery Pack Q&A
1. Which EBP’s do I connect to an AC input source?
It is possible to plug in every EBP into an AC input source. The more connected the faster the
recharge time. It is recommended that every third EBP be connected to incoming AC utility to
properly charge the batteries in a complete system. Leaving too many chargers connected may
cause an over charge situation which could damage the batteries.
2. Which LED’s are supposed to be lit on the front of each EBP?
When an EBP is connected to an AC input source and the unit is charging, a GREEN LED on the
front of the EBP will be illuminated.
3. Are any LED’s on the front of the EBP supposed to be lit if it is not connected to an AC input
source?
No. The UPS and/or the EBP’s that are plugged into an AC input source are responsible for
charging the entire system. The EBP is still working and has the capability of providing DC voltage
when needed. No LED on the front bezel will be illuminated.
4. The EBP is connected to an AC input source, why does the LED on the front of the EBP turn
ON and OFF intermittently, and does this mean this EBP is not working?
The GREEN LED on the front of each EBP indicates that the charger contained in the EBP is
charging. Under certain conditions when the batteries are 100% charged, the charger in the EBP
will shut off and the LED will no longer be illuminated. This is normal operation for the EBP. The
EBP is working properly.\
5. Why don’t the LED’s on each EBP connected to an AC input source turn ON and OFF at the
same time?
The charger on each EBP functions independently from the others. One EBP charger may be
charging while another one might be at 100% and the charger turned off. This is normal operation of
the EBP.
