Care And Storage Of Batteries; Pre-Failure Battery Warranty - HP R1500 - UPS XR User Manual

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
•
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.

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
A Pre-Failure Battery warning is given 30 days before a battery failure. The warning is
indicated in one or both of the following ways:
•
An LED showing the battery is low
•
Notification from HP power management software
This warning provides ample time to order a spare battery. You can order a spare at
www.hp.com
The battery warranty coverage is three years for parts. The warranty for the first year of
ownership includes parts and labor. If battery spares are not available for a particular HP UPS
model, then the entire UPS, including its battery, is replaced.
