Replacing Batteries

There are two options for replacing UPS batteries:
•
Powering down the UPS before removing the batteries
•
In certain circumstances, replacing the batteries without powering down the UPS

Preparing the UPS

Batteries may be replaced without powering down the UPS if the UPS is not supplying
battery power to devices (utility is present, indicating that the UPS is supplying utility
power).
To replace batteries with the UPS powered down:
1. Shut down all load devices.
2. Press the Standby button to take the UPS out of Operate mode. Power to the load
receptacles ceases.
3. Disconnect the UPS from utility power.
4. Wait at least 60 seconds while the UPS internal circuitry discharges.

CAUTION: Because of the short shelf life of the battery, avoid storing a battery spare as a
backup. Do not maintain an inventory of spare batteries onsite unless a procedure to keep
these batteries charged while in storage is implemented.
CAUTION: While replacing batteries without powering down the UPS, the UPS enters
Auto-Bypass mode and is not protected in the event of a utility power failure.
