Do not maintain an inventory of spare batteries on site unless a procedure to keep these batteries charged while in storage is implemented. To maintain the batteries: • Minimize the amount of time the UPS uses battery power by matching the UPS configuration with the utility voltage. See "Selecting the UPS voltage configuration (on page 14)." • Keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. If the environment is very dusty, clean the outside of the UPS regularly with a vacuum cleaner. • Maintain the ambient temperature at 25°C (77°F). • If storing a UPS for an extended period, recharge the batteries every 6 months, and then update the battery recharge date label.
