Testing New Batteries
NOTE It is recommended that the UPS charge for 24 hours before testing the new
batteries.
Press and hold the button for three seconds to initiate the battery
test. The UPS automatically distributes some of the load to the batteries
for 15 seconds and tests the battery’s performance. If there is a problem
with the battery, the UPS returns to Normal mode and the alarm beeps.
For more information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 23.
