Internal Battery

The SU20KX, SU40KX and SU40K models all use a +/-240Vdc (480V) DC internal battery system. An internal battery pack (number of packs
vary by model) supplies the UPS system with battery backup power. Each internal battery pack consists of 40 12Vdc VRLA batteries arranged in
two strings: one string of 20 positive batteries (black cable) and one string of 20 negative batteries (red cable). The two strings are connected by a
neutral (N) point (See Figure 4a).
