1.3 Transportation & Storage Requirements
Caution: Before installing, read the following information concerning stored battery power.
For air and sea transportation safety, during shipment the Baicells SmartUPS product can only be
charged about 20% to 30%. Because of the self-discharge of the lithium battery, if the SmartUPS
device is not installed within 3 months after reaching its destination, it must be recharged to 80%.
After recharging, the SmartUPS device may be stored for up to 6 months. If the device must be
stored longer than 6 months, recharge to 80% again.
General guidelines:
 The storage environment:
o Should be dry, shady, and cool;
o Should not be in contact with corrosive material such as organic solvent; and
o Should be kept away from fire.
 In storage, the battery must be recharged every 6 months to avoid irreversible damage.
 The self-discharge of the battery is affected by temperature and humidity in the storage
environment. High temperatures and humidity will accelerate the self-discharge process. For
optimum conditions, Baicells recommends storing the battery in a dry environment within a
temperature range of 4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C).
Caution: If the lithium battery is not recharged in time and runs out of power, it will be damaged
permanently. To ensure proper device operation, this situation will require replacing the original battery
with a new one.
