Storage of UPS equipment

If the UPS equipment is to be subject 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) Perform a complete system shutdown as described in section 6.15 of this manual.
Storing:
1) Store within a temperature range of - 4 – 104 °F (-20 – 40 °C).
2) For best results, store the UPS 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 less than 68 °F (20 °C), recharge the batteries every 9
months.
5) If stored in an ambient temperature of 68 – 86 °F (20 – 30 °C), recharge the batteries every 6
months.
6) If stored in an ambient temperature of 86 – 104 °F (30 – 40 °C), recharge the batteries every 3
months.
