Battery door screws
FOR 700/1000 VA MINI-TOWER MODELS:
1. Gently lay the UPS on its right side.
2. Loosen and remove the five screws on the battery door. Remove the door
by sliding it toward the rear of UPS and lifting it off. Lay the battery door
aside for reassembly.
3. Gently pull battery wiring out and disconnect the battery connector.
4. Grasp the battery assembly, and pull it out of the UPS.
5. Unpack the new battery assembly taking care not to destroy the packing.
Compare new and old battery assemblies to make sure they are the same
quantity and voltage rating (see specifications). If so, proceed with step 6;
otherwise STOP and contact your dealer or LTS.
6. Slide the new battery assembly into the cavity, noting the connector is facing
outward. Connect the battery connector together.
NOTE: There will be a small spark when connecting the battery connector.
This is normal and will not harm you or the UPS.
