Batteriesshouldbemountedinanenvironmentwherethetemperature is consistent and
evenoverthe whole battery.Temperatureis a majorfactorindeterminingthebatterylife
and capacity. The recommended operating temperature for batteries by battery
manufacturersis20‐25°C.Operatingabovethisrangewillreduce the battery life while
operationbelowthisrangewillreducethebatterycapacity.Therefore,theexpectedbackup
timewillnotbeobtainedwhileautonomy.Asaresult,keepbatteriesawayfromheatsources
andmainairinlets.Payattentionandobservethefollowingpoints.

 Keepbatteriesawayfrommainheatsources.
 Keepbatteriesawayfrommainairinlets.
 Keepbatteriesawayfromthehumid places.Hereby batteries can bepreventedfrom
terminaloxidationsandpossibleleakagecurrents.
 PleaseuseaRorgRsemi‐conductortypefuseatthebatteryroomsandcabinets.
 Ifitispossible,pleaseusebreakerswitchwithoutfuseforthebateerycabinet.
 Keepbatterycabinetsandshelveshighabovetheground.UPSshould be protected
againstfloodsorliquidcontacts.
 Batteryroomsshouldbeproperlyventilated.
 Shelveswillbeaccessibleintouchifbatteriesareinbatteryroom.Thereforepleasekeep
restrictedaccessingtobatteryroom.Usenecessarysafetywritingsandstrips

Espacially, for the external cabinet batteries system of UPS, fuses must definitely be used.
These fuses must be mounted as close as possible to the batteries. This closeness will
increasetheelectricaloperationsafety.
