Battery safety
• It is not necessary to ground the battery system. The user has the option of referencing the battery
system to chassis ground at either a positive or negative battery terminal.
• When replacing batteries, replace with the same number and type.
• Batteries typically last for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated
ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will
shorten battery life. Batteries should be replaced before end of life.
• Replace batteries immediately when the unit indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free sealed Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and
handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the battery. Over charging, over
heating or other misuse of batteries can result in a discharge of battery electrolyte. Released
electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to the skin and eyes.
• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatches and
rings.
High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes
and may be toxic.
Deenergizing safety
