UPS and Battery Care
For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS
clean and dust-free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of
the system with a vacuum cleaner.
For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of
25°C (77°F).
Storing the UPS and Batteries
If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every
6 months by plugging the UPS into a power outlet. The batteries charge
to 90% capacity in approximately 3 hours. However, it is recommended
that the batteries charge for 6 to 24 hours after long-term storage.
