8.3 When to replace batteries
Eaton UPS batteries have an expected life span of 3-5 years.
After 4 years of operation, the UPS will provide a battery replacement notification reminding you that your batteries are
nearing the end of their useful life. You should take proactive steps to ensure you replace your batteries for optimal
operation and reliability.
Contact your service representative to order new batteries.
Battery recommended replacement date and reference can be accessed through the LCD (Measurements > Battery).
