Testing The New Battery Module; Disposing Of Used Batteries - HP R1500 - UPS XR User Manual

Testing the New Battery Module

After installing the new battery module, press the Test/Alarm Reset button. Refer to the
section, "Initiating a Self-Test," in Chapter 2 for more information on initiating a self-test.
IMPORTANT: The UPS schedules the battery test, but will not execute the test until the batteries are at
least 90 percent charged.
If the installation has been successful, the Alarm LED will not be illuminated.
If the installation has not been successful, the Alarm LED turns red and the LCD menu
indicates an alarm. If this occurs, repeat the procedures in the "Replacing the Batteries"
section of this chapter, and check the battery terminal connections. If the Alarm LED is still
red, refer to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting," for more information on the cause of the alarm.
IMPORTANT: The batteries will charge to 80 percent of their capacity within approximately
three hours. Charge the batteries for 24 hours before using the UPS to supply backup power to devices.
The load may not be fully protected for 48 hours.
Conducting a Battery Commissioning Test
When replacing battery modules, it is recommended running a battery commissioning test.
This test will set a base line so that the UPS accurately displays battery run-time. Refer to the
section, "Setting the Hardware Configuration," in Chapter 3 for instructions on enabling the
battery commissioning test.
NOTE: The battery commissioning test runs in the background. Once enabled, the test can take up to
three days to run.
