BATTERIES
The life of batteries used in these UPS products is estimated at 3‐6 years depending on level of usage.
Once the battery is no longer useful and must be replaced, please contact service personnel for
assistance.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
(QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY)
CAUTION!
Read and follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before servicing the battery.
Service the battery under the supervision of Qualified Service Personnel knowledgeable of batteries and
their precautions.
CAUTION!
Use only the specified type of battery. See your dealer for replacement batteries.
CAUTION!
The battery may present risk of electrical shock. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as it
may explode. Follow all local ordinances regarding proper disposal of batteries.
CAUTION!
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin and eyes
and may be toxic.
CAUTION!
Although the battery system voltage is only 12VDC and 24VDC, the battery can present a
high risk of short circuit current and electrical shock. The short circuit current capability of the battery is
sufficient to burn wire or tools very rapidly, producing molten metal. Observe these precautions when
replacing the battery:
1. Remove all watches, rings or other metal objects.
2. Only use tools with insulated handles.
3. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of battery or any terminals.
4. Wear protective eye wear (goggles), rubber gloves, and boots.
5. Disconnect the charging source before connecting or disconnecting the battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the
source of the ground. Contact with a grounded battery can result in electrical shock! The
likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance (applicable to a UPS and a remote battery supply not having a grounded circuit).
