Battery Backup Time and Discharge Process

The UPS system, when used in conjunction with a TOSHIBA designed Battery System, is designed to
provide several minutes of back-up time (Refer to the Battery System Manual for back-up times). These
times are valid when the unit is operating under full load. When these models are operating at half load,
the batteries can provide approximately 2 times the specified value. The exact length of these times will
depend on the UPS model used, condition of the batteries, amount and type of load, temperature and
other variables.
CAUTION
The following illustration graphically shows the battery discharge process at full load conditions.
8.6

Battery Low Voltage Tolerances

Excessive discharge will cause the UPS battery voltage to drop bellow tolerable levels. The chart shown
below lists the voltage level at which each UPS unit's low-voltage alarm will sound, and also at what level
the low-voltage condition will cause the unit to automatically shut down.

Contact TOSHIBA when using other than TOSHIBA designed Battery Systems
to determine proper compliance. Using other systems could void Warranty and
or Safety Certifications.
