Appendix D: Maintenance and Storage
Maintenance
The repair and replacement of any components in the UPS system must be performed by
qualified personnel. If the battery cartridge has exceeded its service life (VRLA about 3-5 years
and Li about 5-10 years at 25°C), contact Panduit Sales for qualified replacements.
Storage/Transportation
Before storing or transporting the UPS or EBP units with battery cartridges or replacement
battery cartridges, charge the cartridge for 5 hours with no load. Disconnect the battery
cartridge(s) from the system (see Installation Manual). Store/transport the product in the
upright orientation in normal packaging in a dry environment. During storage, recharge and
maintain according to the following table:

Note:
Environmental factors affect battery life. High ambient temperature, high humidity, low-
voltage, and frequent, short-term discharges will shorten the battery life.
Used battery cartridges should be properly disposed per local
regulations. Refer to the Panduit Support Website at:
