Tripp Lite AVR900U Owner's Manual for AVR Series UPS 932974 - Page 5

Basic Operation continued Battery Replacement Door (bottom panel, not shown; select models only): Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to "Battery Warnings" in the Safety Section. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index. cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS. Automatic Voltage Regulation (internal, not shown; select models only): Automatically adjusts fluctuations to incoming voltage (under/over voltages) to supply connected equipment with 120V computer-grade output power. Automatic voltage regulation functions separately from battery power (will not drain battery). Storage and Service Storage To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
