temperature of 25°C (77°F) but is also dependent on the frequency and
duration of mains failure.
Once the battery has reached the end of its useful life, follow the proce-
dure for battery replacement later in this section.
After the batteries have been replaced, a certified
disposal/recycling company should carry out disposal/recycling of the
used batteries. Exhausted rechargeable batteries are classified as
"harmful toxic waste" and as such the law demands that they be
disposed of/recycled by an authorized recycling center.

•
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by per-
sonell knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
•
The batteries installed in the UPS and in the external battery cab-
inets contain electrolyte. Under normal conditions the containers
are dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte that can be dan-
gerous in contact with skin and cause irritation to the eyes. Should
this happen, wash the affected part with copious amounts of water
and seek immediate medical attention.
•
When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number
of batteries or battery packs.
