7.2.1 Battery safety
If the battery kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of leakage, contact Vertiv technical support immediately. Handle,
transport, and recycle batteries in accordance with local regulations.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery may explode.
Do not open or damage the battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin and eyes. If electrolyte comes into
contact with the skin, wash the affected area immediately with plenty of clean water and get medical
attention.
WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause personal injury and death.
When connected together, battery terminal voltage is potentially lethal. Be constantly aware that the battery
system contains high DC and AC voltages. Check for the presence of voltage using DC and AC voltmeters
before making contact with terminals.
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed
when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock is
reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to a UPS and a remote battery
supply not having a grounded supply circuit).
The UPS is equipped with long life, sealed, valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA), also known as maintenance free
batteries.The battery life depends upon the operating ambient temperature of the UPS system.To prolong battery life:
• Keep the ambient temperature between 68 °F and 77 °F (20 °C and 25 °C).
• Prevent long low current discharges.
• Charge the battery for at least 8 hours if the battery hasn't been charged for three months when it has been
stored at the specified ambient temperature, or two months when it has been stored at high ambient
temperature.
The waste lead-acid battery is dangerous waste material. Its storage, transportation, usage, and disposal must follow national
and local laws and other criteria about dangerous waste material and waste battery pollution prevention.
Per the related regulations, recycle the waste lead-acid battery. Other disposal methods are prohibited.Disposing of the waste
lead-acid battery in a landfill or other waste dump can result in serious environment pollution and violates national and local
laws.
Vertiv has a service network and recycle system to assist in complying with laws governing waste battery disposal.Visit
