Replace battery modules

This UPS has easy-to-replace, hot-swappable battery modules. Replacement is a safe procedure, isolated

from electrical hazards. You may leave the UPS and connected equipment on during the replacement

procedure.

Once the batteries are disconnected the connected equipment is not protected from power outages.

Refer to the appropriate replacement battery user manual for battery module installation instructions. See

your dealer or contact APC at www.apc.com for information on replacement battery modules.
