If you store the equipment for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by connecting the UPS to
utility power. The internal batteries 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.

DO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.
Batteries can be replaced easily without turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. If you prefer to remove
input power to change the batteries, see "UPS Shutdown".
Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.
• Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current. Observe the
following precautions:
1.
2.

• When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs. Contact
your service representative to order new batteries.
• Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and
may be extremely toxic.
• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground.
Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can
be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to equipment and
remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).
• ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery wiring or connectors. Attempting to alter
wiring can cause injury.
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
