Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Failure to follow these warnings may lead to product damage and/or risk of personal bodily harm.

Use caution when lifting battery packs. Because of the considerable weight of all battery packs, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
Make certain this battery pack is used only with a SMART1500PSGLCD UPS system.
Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
It is normal for sparks to occur when connecting external batteries.
Do not unplug external batteries from the UPS while the UPS is operating on battery power due to the possibility of dangerous arcing.
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or visit tripplite.com/support/recycling-program for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at tripplite.com/products/batteryfinder/ to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Connection

IMPORTANT: The BP24V9T external battery pack is only compatible with SMART1500PSGLCD UPS systems. Do not attempt to connect this external battery pack to any other UPS models.

To connect the units, simply plug the BP24V9T external battery cable into the external battery connection port of the SMART1500PSGLCD UPS.
Once the units are properly connected, update the P15 menu setting. To do this:
- Press and hold the button on the UPS for 2 seconds to enter the menu.
- Press the button to navigate to the P15 menu selection on the UPS LED display.
- Press the button on the UPS to select the P15 Menu.
- Use the button on the UPS to turn the BP24V9T external battery selection to ON, as shown in the graphic below.
- Press the button on the UPS to approve the setting selection.

Maintenance

Battery packs require no maintenance but should be kept dry at all times. Avoid installation in locations with high heat and/ or humidity. The battery packs should be kept fully charged by being connected to an active UPS system, not left in a depleted condition. Batteries left in a discharged state will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Troubleshooting

There is a fuse array inside the battery packs. If a heavy overload or short circuit is encountered, a fuse will open (blow). A battery pack with a blown fuse will deliver no output voltage at any load. A qualified technician must replace the fuses. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for additional information.

Storage

Disconnect your battery pack’s power cable before storing. If you plan to store your battery pack for an extended period of time, fully recharge its batteries every three months by connecting it to a UPS that is connected to AC input for at least 12 hours.
