Inspection / Storage / Disposal

1.1

Inspection of the New Battery System

Upon receipt of the Battery System, a careful inspection for shipping damage should be
made.
1) Check the unit for loose, broken, bent or otherwise damaged parts. If damage has
occurred during shipment, keep all original crating and packing materials for return to
the shipping agent. The equipment warranty will not apply to units which are
damaged during shipment.
2) Check to see that the rated capacity and the model number specified on the
nameplate conform to the order specifications.
1.2

Storage of Battery Equipment

If the Battery System is to be subjected to long or short term storage, the following
guidelines should be used.
Avoid:
1) Storage in sites subject to extreme changes in temperature or high humidity.
2) Storage in sites subject to exposure of high levels of dust or metal particles.
3) Storage on inclined floor surfaces or in sites subject to excessive vibration.
Before storing:
1) Charge the system's batteries.
2) Place the Battery System's input switch (MCCB-C) in the OFF position.
Storing:
1) Store within a temperature range of -4 to 104 °F (-20 to 40 °C).
2) For best results, store the Battery System in the original shipping container and place
on a wood or metal pallet.
3) The optimum storage temperature is 70 °F (21 °C). Higher ambient temperatures
cause UPS batteries to need recharging more frequently.
4) If stored in an ambient temperature under 68 °F (20 °C); recharge the batteries every
9 months.
5) If stored in an ambient temperature of 68 to 86 °F (20 to 30 °C); recharge the
batteries every 6 months.
6) If stored in an ambient temperature of 86 to 104 °F (30 to 40 °C); recharge the
batteries every 3 months.
