DANGER
DANGER
PowerValue RT G2 5-10 kVA UL requires only
minimal maintenance.
Charge the UPS regularly to maximize the
expected life of the battery. When connected to
mains power, the UPS charges the batteries and
prevents the batteries from overcharging and
over-discharging.
• Replace the batteries when the battery service
life has been exceeded (around three to five
years at 25 °C ambient temperature). Contact
your local ABB or an agent authorized by ABB for
replacements.
• Charge the UPS once every four to six months if
it is not used regularly.
• In high-temperature regions, charge and
discharge the battery every two months. The
standard charging time should be at least 12
hours.
• Replace the battery when the discharge time is
less than 50 percent of specified after fully
charging. Check the battery connection or
contact your local dealer to order a new battery.
