Automatic battery tests are done routinely in automatic charging mode and at each cycle in
Advanced Battery Management (ABM) mode. The frequency of the tests can be modified using
the LCD panel. See
Note: Battery mode is not displayed and battery low alarm does not activate during a battery test.
The automatic discharge test is enabled by default and runs during the transition from

The automatic battery test runs approximately once once a moth as part of the ABM cycle and
does not run again until the next test period. If a manual battery test is requested, the
automatic battery test timer is reset so that it does not run for the next test period.
Requirements for successful battery test
In order for a battery test to complete successfully the following minimum requirements must
be met:
1. Load must be at last 10% of the rated capacity or greater to run adequate discharge,
however 25% is recommended load capacity of the UPS that should be protected by the
UPS unit
2. Battery capacity should be 80 %, that is the battery is charged to at least 80 % of its
capacity
3. There is no running alarm (except Battery fault)
4. Load level has not varied by more than +/-10 % (from the initial load level present at the
beginning of the test to the end of the test)
5. The bypass voltage is in tolerance for bypass transfer (in case of end of backup, to
transfer to bypass)
6. UPS mode must be in Online mode or HE (High efficiency) mode.
These requirements applies to both the UPS itself and any attached EBM(s), that is for all
battery packs present in the UPS installation.
UPS can either be in ABM or continuous battery charge mode.
