5.1 Operation
The UPS system contains no user-serviceable parts. If the battery service life (3-5 years at 77°F (25°C)
ambient temperature) has been exceeded, the batteries must be replaced. Contact Staco Energy
Products for replacement battery packs.
5.2 Storage
Before storing, charge the UPS for 5 hours. Store the UPS covered and upright in a cool, dry location.
During storage, recharge the battery in accordance with the following table:
5.3 Recommended Replacement Intervals
Do not discard the UPS or UPS batteries in landfill. The batteries in the UPS are
sealed lead acid and recyclable. Refer to local codes; for proper disposal contact
your local recycling/reuse or hazardous waste center.
The Staco UPS has a long design life. Due to the characteristics of the part, not the design of the UPS,
certain components used in the design have a limited life, even with proper maintenance.
Service and maintenance work should be performed only by factory authorized service
personnel.
Staco recommends these limited-life components be periodically inspected and replaced before the
expected expiration of their life cycle. The recommended replacement schedule is an estimate only. The
life of these parts depends on site conditions such as ambient temperature, load profile, cleanliness of
environment and other factors.
Staco Recommends a Factory Authorized Preventative Maintenance review is schedule at least once a
year.
The functional lifetime of VRLA batteries is significantly affected by the temperature at which they are
stored and operated. Ideally, VRLA batteries should be used in a 25ºC (77ºF) environment. For every
8.3ºC (15ºF) increase in temperature, the life expectancy of a battery will be halved. Exposure to
temperatures in excess of 32ºC (90ºF) should be limited to no more than 30 days per year. Under no
circumstances should the VRLA battery be exposed to temperatures over 40ºC (104ºF) which can lead to
thermal runaway, a condition that damages the battery. Thermal runaway can cause batteries to swell.
If the battery cases burst, the hazardous contents may be exposed.
Maintaining appropriate ambient temperature typically requires installing the UPS in a temperature
controlled space. Areas without AC do not generally maintain the proper conditions for good battery life.
