Installing a New Battery Pack

To install a new battery pack, reverse the steps in "Removing the Battery Pack," in this
chapter.

Testing the New Battery Pack

After installing the new battery pack, press the Test/Alarm Reset button. For information on
initiating a self-test, refer to the section, "Initiating a Self-Test," in Chapter 2.
IMPORTANT: The UPS will not execute a self-test until the batteries are 90 percent charged.
If the installation has been successful, the Bad Battery/Low Battery LED is not illuminated.
If the installation has not been successful, the Bad Battery/Low Battery LED illuminates red.
If this occurs, remove and reinstall the battery pack, and check the battery terminal
connections. If the Bad Battery/Low Battery LED is still red, refer to Chapter 5,
"Troubleshooting."
IMPORTANT: The batteries charge to 90 percent of their capacity within less than 3 hours. Allow the
batteries to charge for 24 hours before using the UPS to supply backup power to devices. The load may
not be fully protected for 24 hours.
