Battery Replacement

Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several years. Contact Tripp Lite
for information about replacement batteries.
Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. The batteries are
hot-swappable: it is not necessary to turn off or disconnect the UPS and its connected load to
replace the UPS's batteries. However, when it is convenient to do so, service personnel may
simplify the replacement procedure by turning power off at the UPS outlets by pressing the
OFF switch to and disconnecting the UPS's power cord from the wall outlet.
When replacing the batteries on a SU1000RTXL2U, SU1000RTXL2UHV or
SUINT1000RTXL2U, qualified service personnel should refer to "Battery Warnings" in the
Safety section and follow this procedure:
1) Place the UPS horizontal with the Control Panel on the right side.
2) Remove both snap-on cover panels (A).
3) Unscrew and remove rack handle plates (B) on either side of the UPS.
4) Disconnect the microprocessor circuit board plug (C) located on the right side of the UPS.
5) Disconnect battery connectors (D). Note: while batteries are disconnected, the UPS will
not provide battery backup in the event of a power outage.
6) Unscrew and remove the battery retaining bracket (E).
7) Grasp pull-tab and pull out sliding battery tray (F).
8) Make a detailed sketch of the batteries and the polarity, color and connection of all cables.
Disconnect used batteries and dispose of them properly. Connect replacement batteries in
exactly the way the original batteries were connected. Note: Small sparks arcing between
battery connectors during battery replacement are normal. Reassemble the UPS by reversing
steps 1-7. Note: you may not receive full runtime until your new batteries have fully charged.
