IMPORTANT

 

Please follow all battery recharge and storage instructions carefully to maintain warranty!

Battery Recharging

  • Your N1C external lithium battery (LR, C, LC, LK and 3PL series) typically leaves the factory with approximately 30% State of Charge (SOC).
  • Your N1C external battery module should be installed within 60 days of shipment from N1C warehouse. 
  • Improper charging, recharging and/or storage will lead to denied warranty claims.
  • If you are unable to install the battery within this time period, please follow the connection instructions found in the battery and UPS manuals for the models purchased. Use the UPS module and an appropriate available electrical AC source to recharge the battery within 60 days of receiving the battery.
  • The SNMP web card or the LCD screen of the UPS module (all series UPS models) can indicate the state of charge of the battery.
  • LED lights on the LR/C/LC/LK series batteries can show state of charge status with one light being 25%, two lights being 50%, three lights being 75% and four lights being 100%.  (3PL series batteries state of charge is only observable on the UPS screen or SNMP card).
  • NOTE: To discharge the battery module, connect a load to the UPS and run the UPS on battery power.

Battery Storage

  • N1C battery modules should be stored at a SOC greater than 60%. Any time the battery is not connected to an N1C UPS module is considered storage.
  • Storage environmental guidelines are as follows:
    • 32º-77ºF<12 months, max 95% relative humidity
    • 77º-110ºF<3 months, max 95% relative humidity
    • 110º-120ºF<1 month, max 95% relative humidity
  • Optimal storage temperature is 68-75ºF in a dry environment.
  • Store the batteries in the original packaging.
  • Make sure battery breakers and LED lights are “OFF” before storing the battery.
  • Protect battery and packaging materials from liquids (flooding, leaking roofs, spills, etc.)
  • Improper charging, recharging and/or storage will lead to denied warranty claims.
