How to install Tripp Lite UPS Replacement Battery Cartridge

• Prepare the UPS and workspace: Power down the UPS and disconnect it from mains power. Ensure the UPS is in a safe, dry location with space around the unit for ventilation and battery access. Have the appropriate tools on hand as recommended by your facility’s maintenance protocol.
• Access the battery compartment: Remove any protective covers or panels to access the battery compartment. Follow your UPS model’s service manual to locate the battery cartridge mounting location and any securing hardware used to hold the cartridge in place.
• Remove the old cartridge (if replacing the existing battery pack): Carefully disconnect the old cartridge from its connections, noting the layout of any wired harnesses. Remove the cartridge from the UPS chassis, observing proper static precautions.
• Install the new pre-wired cartridge: Align the new sixteen-battery cartridge with the mounting points inside the UPS. Slide the cartridge into position and secure it using the designated mounting hardware. Connect the pre-wired harnesses to the appropriate terminals on the UPS’ internal backplane, ensuring a firm, clean, and vibration-free connection.
• Verify installation and perform a self-test: Reinstall any access panels or covers. Reconnect the UPS to mains power, power on the unit, and run the self-test or battery test sequence as recommended by the manufacturer. Confirm that the UPS recognizes the new battery cartridge and reports healthy battery status and expected runtime.
