Battery
The POWER+ battery bank is used as a backup in the event that the utility AC input fails.
Depending on customer preference, batteries may or may not have been supplied with your
system.
The batteries are usually housed internally; however, for sites where a longer backup duration is
required, the batteries can be housed in an external cabinet or cabinets next to the POWER+
cabinet.
Batteries are charged by the rectifier which supplies both the inverter and the battery charger.
Free air circulation around the batteries is extremely important for proper battery safety. If
the Power+ is installed in a cabinet, the cabinet must have sufficient ventilation openings
to permit free air circulation around the batteries.
This means that solid glass or acrylic-type door panels are not suitable for a cabinet
housing the Power+, not for the front cabinet door nor for the rear door.
Please refer to the battery manufacturer’s installation manual for battery installation and
maintenance instructions.
When replacing internal batteries, replace with the same number and type!
CAUTION - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.
CAUTION - WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

CAUTION
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode. For
proper disposal, contact your local recycling / hazardous waste center.
CAUTION
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is
harmful to the skin and eyes, and is toxic.
