Pre-Failure Battery Warranty
The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty, standard on all UPS units, extends the advantage of a 3-year limited
warranty by applying it to the battery before it actually fails. The Pre-Failure Battery Warranty ensures that the
battery is replaced free of charge when a notification that the battery might fail is received from power
protector software. The battery warranty coverage is 3 years for parts. The warranty for the first year of
ownership includes parts and labor. If battery spares are not available for a particular UPS model, the entire
UPS, including its battery, is replaced.
A Pre-Failure Battery warning is given 30 days before a battery failure. The warning is given in one or both
of the following ways:
• The display showing the battery is low.
• Notification from the power protector software.
Recommended duration of use
Although tests and a multitude of customer experiences have shown no noticeable performance issues with
UPSs for significant time periods after expiration of the 3-year limited warranty, HP strongly recommends
replacing UPSs after a maximum of 5 to 6 years of use to assure full functionality and a safe operating
environment. This recommendation does not extend or in any way alter the warranty for UPSs which is limited
to a time period of 3 years and a coverage as stated in the applicable warranty statement.
