Obtaining New Batteries

Replacing Batteries

Step 1: Preparing the UPS

Compaq supplies spare battery packs for UPS T2200 XR models. Obtain spare
batteries for the UPS when the Bad Battery/Low Battery LED illuminates,
meaning that new batteries may be required within 30 to 60 days.
IMPORTANT: Compaq recommends that an inventory of spare batteries not be
maintained onsite unless a procedure to keep these batteries charged while in storage is
implemented.
For information on the Bad Battery/Low Battery LED function, see Chapter 3,
"Operation."
There are two options for replacing UPS batteries:
Powering off the UPS before removing the batteries
In certain circumstances, hot-swapping the batteries without powering
off the UPS
CAUTION: While hot-swapping batteries, the UPS will not be protected in the
event of a utility power failure.
To replace batteries with the UPS Off
1. Shut down all load devices.
2. Press the STANDBY button to take the UPS out of Operate mode. The
Configure mode ON LED will flash, and power to the load receptacles
will cease.
3. Disconnect the UPS from utility power.
4. Wait at least 60 seconds, while the UPS internal circuitry discharges.
