Disposing of Used Batteries
The spare battery kit includes the instructions and packaging required to return used batteries
to the appropriate location for disposal.
Do not dispose of used batteries with general office or household waste. Return
the used pack for proper disposal to either:
•
HP, authorized HP Partners, or their agents
•
A recycling center that meets all local environmental standards
Care and Storage of Batteries
To maximize the life of batteries:
•
Minimize the amount of time the UPS uses battery power by matching the UPS
configuration with the utility voltage. For more information, refer to Chapter 3,
“Configuration.”
•
Keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. If the environment is very dusty, clean
the outside of the UPS regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
•
Maintain the ambient temperature at 25
o
C (77
o
F).
•
If storing a UPS for an extended period, recharge the batteries every six months:
a. Connect the UPS to utility power.
b. Allow the UPS to remain in Standby mode.
c. Allow the UPS to charge the batteries for 24 hours.
d. Update the battery recharge date label located on the outside of the original
packaging.
Pre-Failure Battery Warranty
The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty, standard on all HP UPS units, extends the advantage of an
HP three-year limited warranty by applying it to the battery before it actually fails.
Specifically, the Pre-Failure Battery Warranty ensures that when customers receive
notification from HP power management software that the battery may fail, the battery is
replaced free of charge under the warranty.
HP maintains the highest standards in the industry, as evidenced by the HP Pre-Failure
Battery Warranty. This warranty is beneficial in at least two significant ways:
•
Reduced total cost of ownership
•
Reduced downtime
