Battery safety

WARNING

RISK OF CHEMICAL HAZARD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT · Replace the battery module at least every 10 years or at the end of its service life, whichever is earlier. · Replace the battery module immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary. · Replace battery module with the same type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment. · Replace the battery module immediately when the UPS indicates battery over-temperature condition.
Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the battery module. · *Replace all External Battery Packs which are older than one year, when installing additional battery
packs.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

• Contact APC by Schneider Electric Worldwide Customer Support to determine the age of the installed battery packs.
  Note: Servicing of battery modules should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions.

• 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 Maintenance-free Lithium-Ion batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the battery.

• 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 observed 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.

• 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.

Easy UPS On-Line SRVL48RMBP2U External Battery Pack

• 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 and may be toxic.
• CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
• CAUTION: Turn off UPS before replacing battery.

7. Set up the ID code for battery packs by rotating the disc on the ID switch. The ID switch in master battery pack must be set to “0”. Use random numbers from 1 to 9 for setting up the ID of the slave battery packs. It’s required to assign a unique ID to each battery pack for paralleling the battery packs.

NOTE 1: Based on the Easy UPS charging capability, a maximum of 3 external battery packs can be connected to the UPS.
NOTE 2: and are battery cables supplied in the battery package with same specification. and **are RJ11 cables supplied in the battery package with same specification.
NOTE** 3: When a new battery pack is connected in parallel to the master battery pack, the new battery pack will get automatically paralleled when the State of Charge (SOC) of both the master battery pack and the new battery pack is 100%. Until the SOC of both the battery packs reach 100% SOC, the new battery pack will only get charged and will not share the load if the UPS goes into on-battery mode during this period. The paralleling status of the battery packs can be checked through the monitoring software
