Maintenance

1. Battery Care and Replacement

The UPS contains sealed lead-acid batteries that typically last 3-5 years under normal operating conditions. Factors like frequent power outages and high temperatures can shorten battery life.

• Perform a battery self-test periodically (refer to the display menu for this option) to assess battery health.
• When battery runtime significantly decreases, it's time to replace the batteries. Contact Juice Goose customer support for replacement battery kits and instructions. Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel.

2. Cleaning

Keep the ventilation openings clear of dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the UPS. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

3. Storage

If storing the UPS for an extended period, ensure the batteries are fully charged. Recharge the batteries every 3-6 months to prevent permanent damage due to self-discharge.
