• Remove the old cartridge from the UPS chassis and dispose of it following local regulations for lead-acid batteries. Do not leave the old battery inside the unit while installing the new cartridge.
• Unpack the replacement RBC-141 and align it with the battery mounting points in the UPS. Secure it in place and reconnect the power or interface connectors exactly as the original configuration.
• Carefully reassemble the battery compartment cover or service panel, ensuring any latches or screws are tightened to the manufacturer’s specifications. Reconnect the UPS to power and, if your model supports it, run the self-test or a full UPS diagnostic to confirm the replacement is functioning properly.
• If your UPS features software monitoring or a management console, verify that the new RBC-141 is recognized, battery status is healthy, and runtime estimates reflect the updated battery capacity.
• Dispose of the packaging responsibly and recycle the old cartridge through an approved battery disposal or recycling program in your area. Do not dispose of the battery with regular household waste.
