essary battery drainage.

At +30 to +45 °C (+86 to +113 °F), charge the UPS battery every three months.
REPLACING THE BATTERY MODULE
This UPS has an easy to replace, hot-swappable battery module. Replacement is a safe procedure,
isolated from electrical hazards. You may leave the UPS and connected equipment on for the follow-
ing procedure. See your dealer or contact APC at the web site, www.apc.com/support/contact
, for
information on replacement battery modules.
Once the battery is disconnected, the connected equipment is not protected from power
outages.
REMOVING THE FRONT BEZEL AND BATTERY MODULE
The battery module is accessible from the front of the UPS. This proce-
dure requires a Phillips or straight head screwdriver.
1. Face the front of the UPS to remove the bezel. Use both hands and
grasp the finger clips on either side of the bezel. Pull toward you. The
bezel will unsnap.
Set the bezel aside
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the two battery door screws and open
the door (hinged panel).
Set the screws aside in a safe place. You will replace them later.
3. To disconnect the battery, take out the white cord that is tucked into
the space above the battery. This cord serves as a handle for the con-
nector . Grasp the cord and pull firmly toward you.
4. Be careful during this step—the battery module is heavy.
Pull the battery module out of the UPS by pulling the clear label ,
not the white cord. (The battery module consists of a string of four
batteries. The white cord is connected to the battery leads, not the
body of the battery.)
