2. Unhook the bottom section of the front cover from the chassis and set it aside.
3. Use a screwdriver or a coin to remove the two (2) battery door screws and open the door.
4. Disconnect the front battery pack:
For the 1400 – 3000 VA models, gently but firmly pull the red and black wires at the top
of the battery housing to disconnect the gray connector plug from the UPS.
For the 5000 VA model, grip the white cord on the front set of batteries and pull firmly to
disconnect the connector.
5. Pull the front battery out of the UPS by pulling on the clear label, not the white cord. Remove
the foam spacer and set it aside. (The 5000 VA unit does not use foam spacers.)
Notes:
Be careful removing the batteries - they are heavy. Support the bottom of the batteries as
you remove them.
The 5000 VA model has four of batteries, two in each compartment. Exercise special care
when removing the top set.

Small sparks at the battery connectors are normal during connection.

Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling facility or ship it to
the supplier in the new battery’s packing material. See the new battery instructions for more
information.
