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 this proce-
dure. See your dealer or contact APC at the web site, www.apc.com/support
for information on re-
placement battery modules.
Once the battery is disconnected, the connected equipment is not protected from
