Battery Replacement
Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel using the following procedures:
Caution: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries: Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles.
1.Disconnect all equipment plugged into the Back-UPS.
2.Turn off the Back-UPS and disconnect it from the wall outlet.
3.Lay the Back-UPS on a flat, stable surface with the wall mounting holes facing upward.
4.Loosen fully, the four screws which secure the rear cover to the Back-UPS.
5.Lift the rear cover straight up and off of the Back-UPS. To avoid losing the screws, do not invert the rear cover. Do not touch the printed circuit board or the outlets.
6.Disconnect the red wire from the battery terminal by grasping the black portion of the wire and pull straight back from the connector.
7.Grasp the battery and rotate it 90 degrees (stand it upright).
8.Disconnect the black wire from the battery terminal by grasping the black portion of the wire and pull straight back from the connector.
Caution: Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery may explode. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
9.Recycle or dispose of the old battery in accordance with local requirements, or return it to APC to ensure proper recycling.
10.Unpack and inspect the replacement battery. Ensure the replacement battery is not cracked or leaking. If the battery is damaged, contact APC Customer Service.
11.Set the replacement battery in the Back-UPS with the terminals facing upward.
12.Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
13.Lay the replacement battery into the Back-UPS chassis. Ensure the black wire is not pinched under the battery.
14.Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. Ensure the red wire is fully in the battery enclosure.
15.Place the rear cover on the Back-UPS chassis and tighten the four screws loosened in step 4.
16.Plug the Back-UPS into the wall outlet, press the Power pushbutton on the Back-UPS to turn it on, and allow the battery to charge for 16 hours.
17.Plug equipment to be protected into the Back-UPS and resume normal operation.
