Maintenance
Battery packs require no maintenance but should be kept dry at all times. Avoid
installation in locations with high heat and/or humidity. The battery packs should be kept
fully charged by being connected to an active UPS system, not left in a depleted
condition. Batteries left in a discharged state will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Troubleshooting
There is a fuse array inside the battery packs. If a heavy overload or short circuit is
encountered, a fuse will open (blow). A battery pack with a blown fuse will deliver no
output voltage at any load. A qualified technician must replace the fuses. Contact Tripp
Lite Customer Support for additional information.
Internal Battery Replacement
The batteries in the battery packs will eventually wear out and be unable to provide
adequate backup times. The batteries should only be replaced by factory authorized
service personnel. Tripp Lite offers an exchange program for North American customers
wherein they may exchange worn-out battery packs for new ones at a price comparable
to the cost of individual battery replacement. For more details, visit
www.tripplite.com/support.
Storage
Disconnect your battery pack’s power cable before storing. If you plan to store your
battery pack for an extended period of time, fully recharge its batteries every three
months by connecting it to a UPS that is connected to AC input for at least 12 hours.
