After installing the new battery, allow the UPS to charge for at least 8-12 hours without any load connected. This ensures the battery reaches its full capacity and provides optimal backup time. The battery is pre-charged and ready to use, but a full initial charge is recommended.

5.2 Status Indicators

Refer to your APC Back-UPS 650VA BN650M1 user manual for specific information regarding LED indicators and audible alarms. A fully charged and properly functioning battery should resolve any previous 'replace battery' alarms or indicators.

6. Maintenance

If the battery is to be stored for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged before storage. Store in a cool, dry place. Recharge the battery every 3-6 months to prevent permanent damage due to self-discharge.

6.2 Cleaning

Keep the battery terminals clean and free of corrosion. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the battery if necessary. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the battery.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Common Issues

• Battery Alarm Still Active: Ensure the new battery is correctly installed and fully charged. Allow the UPS to complete a self-test cycle. If the alarm persists, verify the battery connections and ensure the UPS model is indeed BN650M1.
• Battery Does Not Fit: This battery is an exact fit for the APC BN650M1. Ensure you are inserting the battery with the terminal connections first, and the flat side of the battery is positioned correctly against the battery cover. Do not force the battery. Double-check your UPS model number.
• Short Backup Time: Allow the battery to undergo a full charge cycle (8-12 hours) without interruption. If the issue persists, the battery may require conditioning or further troubleshooting of the UPS unit itself.
