MAINTENANCE
The UPStation GXT 2U requires very little maintenance. The batteries are
valve regulated, nonspillable, flame retardant, lead acid, and should be
kept charged to obtain their designed life. The UPS continuously charges
the batteries when connected to the utility supply.
When storing the UPS for any length of time, it is recommended to plug
the UPS in for at least 24 hours every four to six months to ensure full
recharge of the batteries.
The UPStation GXT 2U is designed to allow the user to safely replace the
internal batteries. Read the safety cautions before proceeding. Contact
your local dealer or Liebert representative to obtain the appropriate
replacement battery kit part number and pricing.
