Battery safety

• The battery typically lasts for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life. The battery should be replaced before end of life.

• APC by Schneider Electric uses sealed lead acid batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the battery. Over charging, over heating or other misuse of batteries can result in a discharge of battery electrolyte. Released electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to the skin and eyes.

• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.

• The UPS will recognize as many as 10 external battery packs connected to the UPS.
  Note: For each XLBP that is added, increased recharge time will be required.

• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatches and rings. High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.

• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.

General information

• The model and serial numbers are located on a small, rear panel label. For some models, an additional label is located on the chassis under the front bezel.
