Battery Packs with Permanent Cords
Select battery packs feature external battery con-
nectors (B) If your battery pack is one of these,
you can increase your runtime by connecting

external battery connector as outlined above,
then "daisy chain" more Battery Packs onto the
first. Connect the power cable of the second
Battery Pack to the first Battery Pack's external
battery connector (B), the cable on third to the
connector on the second and so on. ALL BAT-
TERY PACKS IN THE CHAIN MUST BE THE
SAME MODEL. Note that multiple Battery Pack
arrays will provide longer runtimes, but will also
require longer recharge times.
If your battery pack does not feature an external

nect two of them to a single UPS.
