Battery Warnings
•
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not
dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any
object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorised service personnel using
the same number and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid).
The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or visit tripplite.com/support/recycling-

• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Disconnect the charging source and load prior to installing or maintaining the battery.
