7. Storage and Maintenance

7.1 Storage

Before storing, charge the UPS at least 7 hours. Store the UPS covered and upright in a cool, dry location. If the charging source remains
off for an extended period of time, it should be turned on periodically to allow the batteries to recharge. The charging source should
be turned on and the batteries should be recharged at least one uninterrupted 24-hour period every 3 months. Failure to recharge the
batteries periodically may cause permanent battery damage.

7.2 Maintenance

• The UPS system operates with hazardous voltages. Repairs should only be performed by qualified maintenance personnel.
• Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains, potentially dangerous components inside the UPS system are still connected to the
battery packs.
• Before carrying out any kind of service and/or maintenance, disconnect the batteries and verify that no current is present and no
hazardous voltage exists in the terminals of high capability capacitor, such as BUS-capacitors.
• Only qualified technicians taking the required precautionary measures may replace batteries and supervise operations. Unauthorized
persons should not perform battery maintenance.
• Verify that no voltage between the battery terminals and the ground is present before maintenance or repair. The battery circuit is not
isolated from the input voltage. Hazardous voltages may occur between the battery terminals and the ground.
• Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current. Remove all wristwatches, rings and other metal personal
objects before maintenance or repair, and only use tools with insulated grips and handles for maintenance or repair.
• When replacing the batteries, install the same number and same type of batteries.
• Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. This could cause a battery explosion. The batteries must be appropriately
deposed of according to local regulations.
• Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolytes may be toxic and can cause injury to the skin and eyes.
• To avoid fire hazards, replace the fuse only with the same type and amperage.
• Do not disassemble the UPS system.

7.3 Battery

Tripp Lite's SVTKX-Series UPS systems use sealed lead-acid batteries. The battery life depends on operating temperature, the usage,
and the charging/discharging frequency. High temperature environments and high charging/discharging frequency will quickly shorten the
battery life. Please follow the suggestions below to ensure a normal battery lifetime.
1. Keep operating temperature between 0°C~40°C.
2. For optimum battery performance and life, operate at a regulated 25°C.
3. When the UPS needs to be stored for an extended period of time, the batteries must be recharged once every three months and the
charging time must not be less than 24 hours each time.

7.4 Fan

Higher temperatures shorten fan life. When the UPS is running, check if all fans work normally and make sure air can move freely around
and through the UPS. If not, replace the fans.
Note: Contact Tripp Lite Technical Support for more maintenance information. Do not perform maintenance if you are not qualified to do so.
