UPS and Battery Care
For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. 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).
NOTE
The batteries in the UPS are rated for a 3–5 year service life. The length of service life
varies, depending on the frequency of usage and ambient temperature. Batteries used
beyond expected service life will often have severely reduced runtimes. Replace batteries at
least every 5 years to keep units running at peak efficiency.
Storing the UPS and Batteries
If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by connecting the
UPS to utility power. The internal batteries charge to 80% capacity in less than 5 hours.
However, we recommend that the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term storage.Check
the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label.If the date is expired and the batteries
were never recharged, do not use the UPS. Contact your service representative.
