13.1 Batteries
The condition of the battery is fundamental to UPS operation.
During the operating lifetime of the battery, the UPS stores statistics on the conditions of use of the battery for analysis.
Expected battery lifetime is very much dependent on operating conditions:
- number of charging and discharging cycles;
- load rate;
- temperature.
NOTE: batteries must only be replaced with batteries recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
Batteries must only be replaced by qualified technicians.
NOTE: used batteries must be placed in appropriate containers to avoid acid leakage.
They should only be entrusted to a specialist waste disposal company.
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
A battery can present a risk of electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current.
Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
NOTE: servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about
batteries and required precautions.
NOTE: when replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
