These sealed lead-acid batteries are maintenance-free and do not require water additions or electrolyte checks. However, proper care can extend their lifespan:

• Temperature: Store and operate batteries within recommended temperature ranges (typically 20°C to 25°C or 68°F to 77°F) to maximize lifespan. Extreme temperatures can reduce battery life.

If your UPS does not function correctly after battery replacement, consider the following common issues:

• No Power: Ensure all battery connections are secure and correctly oriented (positive to positive, negative to negative). Verify the UPS is properly connected to the AC power source.
• Short Backup Time: Allow the new batteries to fully charge for at least 24 hours before testing backup time. If the issue persists, recheck connections or consult your UPS manual.
