6 - Option: extended runtime (VH Series 1000-3000)

Extended runtime can be obtained by connecting a separate battery extension pack to the UPS. In this case
the UPS must be informed about the new total battery capacity to allow a reliable recalculation of the
available runtime (please contact your dealer). Dependent of the charge condition of the new batteries the
new runtime calculations may temporarily be unreliable.
The additional batteries increase the recharging time for the unit, all other operational information is the same
as for standard models. It is not allowed to connect an external charger to the UPS!
