How to install Vertiv Liebert Hot-Swap Internal 9 Ah, 144V Lead-Acid Battery

Installing this hot-swap internal battery module is designed to be straightforward for qualified technicians. Follow these general steps to ensure a safe, successful replacement that preserves UPS performance and uptime:

• Prepare the workspace by powering down nonessential equipment only if your maintenance plan requires it, and ensure you are following all electrical safety procedures. If your facility relies on continuous operation, you can perform the upgrade using a hot-swap process as supported by the Liebert GXT4 system, minimizing disruption to critical loads.
• Identify the hot-swap battery bay on the Liebert GXT4-5000RT208 or GXT4-6000RT208 unit and use appropriate ESD protection before touching internal components. Confirm that the UPS indicates readiness for battery replacement according to the vendor’s service guide.
• Disconnect the battery harness and release any mounting hardware securing the existing battery module, taking care to support the weight and avoid accidental drops. Keep track of screws or fasteners to ensure proper reassembly.
• Insert the new 9 Ah, 144V lead-acid battery module into the bay and reconnect the battery harness securely. Ensure the module is seated properly and the retention hardware is tightened to manufacturer specifications to prevent movement during operation.
• Power the unit back on and perform a self-test or battery health test as recommended by Vertiv for the Liebert GXT4 family. Verify that the UPS reports healthy battery status, and monitor runtime indicators to confirm expected performance with the connected load. If the system indicates any faults, consult the service guide and contact Vertiv support for guidance.
