11.3 Batteries

SUINT-Series UPS systems use sealed lead-acid batteries. Typical battery life is 3-5 years. However, actual battery life depends
on temperature, usage and charging/discharging frequency. High temperature environments and high charging/discharging
frequency will shorten the battery life. The UPS does not require maintenance by the user, but the batteries should be checked
periodically. Follow the guidelines below to ensure a normal battery lifetime.
Keep the usage temperature at 20° to 25°C.
Idle batteries must be fully recharged every three months if the UPS is stored for an extended period of time. Fully charge the
batteries (internal and external) until the Battery Level Bar Graph
Note: Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If the UPS system's internal batteries need to be
replaced, please contact your Tripp Lite dealer. During battery replacement, the loads attached to the UPS will not be protected if input
power fails.
