9.1

Equipment care

For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the equipment clean and dust free.
If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner.
For full battery life, keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C).
If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is disconnected and turned off.
The batteries are rated for a 3-5 year service life. The length of service life varies, depending on
the frequency of usage and ambient temperature. Batteries used beyond expected service life
will often have severely reduced runtimes. Replace batteries at least every 4 years to keep units
running at peak efficiency.
9.2

Storing the equipment

If you store the equipment for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by connecting the
UPS to utility power. The EBM charge to 90% capacity in less than 3 hours.
However, Eaton recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term storage.
Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label.
If the date has passed and the batteries were never recharged, do not use them. Contact your service
representative.
9.3

When to replace batteries

When the battery replacement screen is displayed, it is recommended to replace the batteries.
Contact your service representative to order new batteries.
