WARNING
risk of equipment damage If the UPS system remains de-energized for a long period, we recommend that you energize the UPS system for a period of 24 hours at least once every month. This charges the installed battery modules, thus avoiding irreversible damage from deep discharging. Store the battery modules at an ambient temperature of -15 to 40 °C (5 to 104 °F). Store the battery modules in their original protective packaging. Battery modules stored at -15 to 25 °C (5 to 77 °F) must be recharged every six months to avoid damages from deep discharging. Battery modules stored at over 25 °C (77 °F) must be recharged at shorter intervals. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
