Battery safety

WARNING
RISK OF CHEMICAL HAZARD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT

• Replace the battery pack at least every 10 years or at the end of its service life, whichever is earlier.
• Replace the battery pack immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace battery pack with the same part number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

• Servicing of battery modules should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
• The battery typically lasts for eight to ten years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, frequent discharge due to poor quality power will shorten battery life. Follow the battery manufacturer recommendations.
• For longest battery performance, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68 and 77 °F (20 and 25 °C).
• APC by Schneider Electric uses Lithium-Ion batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the battery.
• This equipment contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The unit contains no user serviceable parts. Repairs are must performed only by factory trained service personnel.
• Do not drive nails into the battery pack.
• Do not strike the battery pack with a hammer.
• Do not stand on the battery pack.
• Do not short circuit battery pack.
• Do not place or use the battery pack near heat or fire.
• Do not use a dropped, damaged or deformed battery pack.
• Do not use the battery pack to power other equipment.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The unit does not contain any user serviceable parts. Repairs must performed only by factory trained service personnel.
• CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
  • CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions should be taken when working on batteries:
  • Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
  • Do not wear any metal objects including watches and rings.
  • Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
  • Use tools with insulated handles.
  • Wear rubber gloves and boots.
  • Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance by a skilled person.
• Keep cells and batteries clean and dry.
• Turn off battery before connecting or disconnecting to any UPS or charging source.
• In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• 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 tamper with the battery enclosure. Doing so will expose the cell terminals which poses an energy hazard.
• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
• CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
• CAUTION: Turn off UPS before replacing battery.

General Information

Troubleshooting

Use the table below to solve minor installation and operation problems. Refer to the APC by Schneider Electric website, www.apc.com for assistance with complex problems

UPS is not supplying power to the connected equipment while operating on Battery mode.
The battery is not connected.|

1. Be sure that battery cable is properly secured at both the UPS and the battery pack.
2. Be sure that the first battery pack (master battery pack) ID switch is set to 0 and all IDs should be set differently.

Low battery cut off.| UPS may have discharged the battery due to utility power outage and turned the output off due to low battery condition.
Wait for the utility power to be restored and charge the battery.
Battery temperature is not within specifications (cell temperature lesser than -20 °C or greater than 80 °C).| Be sure the air vents on the battery pack are not blocked and adequate space for proper ventilation is available.
The battery pack is experiencing an overload condition.| Disconnect nonessential equipment from the UPS to correct the overload condition.
Battery output terminals are short circuited.| Remove the short circuit at the output terminals of the battery and charge the battery.
Battery is not getting charged when UPS is working Online mode.
Battery temperature is not within specifications (cell temperature lesser than -20 °C or greater than 80 °C).| Be sure the air vents on the battery pack are not blocked and adequate space for proper ventilation is available.
Communication failure is detected.
Communication lost between the battery pack and UPS, or between battery packs. Or the ID setting of each parallel battery pack is duplicated in the parallel battery mode.|

1. Be sure that the communication wire (RJ45) between the UPS and the master battery pack is properly secured.
2. Be sure that the communication wires (RJ11) between the battery packs are properly secured.
3. Be sure that the ID setting of master battery pack is “0” and each parallel battery pack is unique.

Alarm LED keep ON and can not be disabled.
An internal error detected.|

1. Make sure all battery cables are firmly connected, RJ11 and RJ45 cables are correctly connected, and IDs in each battery pack is set differently.
2. Make sure battery pack is not in deep discharging status. Charging battery can solve this problem. Suggest to charge battery packs at least 24 hours.
3. Make sure battery pack is not in over charging status. Discharging battery can solve this problem. Suggest to connect 50% load to discharge battery pack until 50% SOC.
4. Make sure battery pack is not in over-temperature status. Ensure the working environment is lower than 50°C.

If the problem still remains, disconnect the UPS from the AC Mains and contact APC by Schneider Electric Customer Support.
