1)  The end-of-charge voltage depends on the battery temperature. At 20°C the end-of-charge voltage is set to 13.6V (rsp. 27.2V) and 
changes with -18mV/°C for 12V batteries and -36mV/°C for 24V batteries but not higher than 14.2V rsp. 28.4V. 
2)  Corresponds to the temperature readings of the external temperature sensor of the battery and is not the surrounding air temperature 
of the DC-UPS. Frequent charging below +5°C (41°F) reduced the lifetime of the battery and should be avoided. Low temperatures 
increase the battery impedance and also change the battery characteristics. This could result in a false “replace battery” signal or an 
unexpected interruption of a buffer event, especially with small batteries. To avoid this, the temperature range for charging is limited at 
low temperatures depending on the battery size. If the end application requires temperatures below +5°C, it is recommended to use 
batteries >10Ah. 
3)  Below this voltage level, charging does not start and the DC-UPS reports “check wiring”. 
4)  The listed charging time applies for a complete discharged battery until the DC-UPS indicated “Ready” with the green status LED. In 
practice, the charging time can be much shorter, since the battery is usually not completely discharged. A very long charging time is most 
likely caused by a defective or old battery. 
5)  Batteries smaller than 6Ah are only recommended when the load current is below 10A.
