How to Install Vertiv Liebert Hot-Swap Internal 9 Ah Battery

• Prepare the UPS and workspace: Verify that the installation area is clean, stable, and within the manufacturer’s recommended operating environment. Gather the appropriate safety gear and ensure power-conditioning procedures are in place to protect technicians and equipment during the swap.
• Review model-specific guidance: Although this is a hot-swap internal battery, consult the Liebert GXT4 installation manual for any model-specific steps, connector configurations, or safety notices that apply to your exact UPS revision and enclosure.
• Access the internal battery bay: Open the Liebert GXT4 battery compartment according to the product’s service documentation. Ensure the area is clear of obstacles and that the battery bay latch or panel is secured before proceeding.
• Disconnect and remove the old battery (if replacing): Gently disconnect the DC bus connectors, noting the orientation of each connection for proper reassembly. Remove any retention hardware and slide the old battery module out of the bay with care to avoid disturbing adjacent components.
• Install the new 9 Ah, 288V battery: Align the new internal battery module with the bay, engage the DC bus connectors firmly, and secure any retention hardware. Confirm that all connectors are seated correctly and that cabling is routed to avoid interference with fans, doors, or other service items.
• Close the bay and perform initial validation: Reinstall the access panel, restore any external connections, and power up the UPS. If available, run a battery self-test or use the UPS management software to verify that the new battery is recognized and delivering the expected voltage and health status.
• Monitor performance and document the service: Check the UPS console for any warnings or alerts related to the battery, record serial numbers and installation dates, and schedule follow-up health checks in accordance with your maintenance policy.
