Battery Maintenance Guidelines

The battery maintenance instructions listed below are for reference only. Battery manufacturer’s instructions
for transportation, installation, storage or maintenance take precedence over these instructions.

• To prevent damage, inspect batteries every 3 months for:
Signs of battery cracking, leaking or swelling. The battery should be replaced immediately by

authorized personnel using a battery of the identical type and rating.

Signs of battery cable damage. Battery cable should be replaced immediately by Authorized Personnel

using replacement parts specifi ed by vendor.

Loose battery connection hardware. Refer to battery manufacturer’s documentation for the correct

torque and connection hardware for the application.

• Apply battery manufacturer’s specifi ed antioxidant compound on all exposed connections.

• Verify battery terminals and/or exposed connection hardware is not within 2 inches of a conductive
surface. Reposition batteries as necessary to maintain adequate clearance.

• Clean up any electrolyte (battery emission) in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations or
codes.

• Proper venting of the enclosure is recommended. Follow the Battery Manufacturer’s approved
transportation and storage instructions.

• Always replace batteries with those of an identical type and rating. Never install old or untested batteries.

• Do not charge batteries in a sealed container. Each individual battery should have at least 0.5
inches of space between it and all surrounding surfaces to allow for convection cooling.

• All battery compartments must have adequate ventilation to prevent an accumulation of potentially
dangerous gas.

Recycling and Disposal Instructions

Spent or damaged batteries are considered environmentally unsafe. Always recycle used batteries or dispose
of the batteries in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations.

Electrical Safety

• Lethal voltages are present within the power supply and electrical boxes. Never assume that an electrical
connection or conductor is not energized. Check the circuit with a volt meter with respect to the grounded
portion of the enclosure (both AC and DC) prior to any installation or removal procedure.

• Always use the buddy system when working under hazardous conditions.

• A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment.

• Input voltages can range up to 240 Vac. Ensure that utility power is disabled before beginning installation
or removal.

• Ensure no liquids or wet clothes contact internal components.

• Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from batteries even when the AC input
power is disconnected.

Mechanical Safety

• Keep hands and tools clear of fans. Fans are thermostatically controlled and will turn on automatically.

• Power supplies can reach extreme temperatures under load.

• Use caution around sheet metal components and sharp edges.
