RE: [NF] Hot APC battery
Pete, all the APC units we use are rack mounts. If you remove the front panel and the cover over the battery, you should find a set of plastic connectors with a red and black wire in each side. One end goes the batteries and the other to the charge circuit. Most of the time one of the connectors has a small rope pull attached to aid with disconnection of the connectors. Pull the connectors apart. If you have the connectors don't try to remove the wires from the batteries as the terminals on the battery tend to break off. This link will take you to the style of APC units we use. You can look up your UPS on the same site. http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SUR TA1500RMXL2U&total_watts=50 Good luck, Jim -Original Message- From: profox-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2009 8:06 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] Hot APC battery Jim Felton wrote: > Pete, we use APC UPSs all over the station.

RE: [NF] Hot APC battery
Pete, we use APC UPSs all over the station. We have found they will run warm when on battery power. If they feel hot I would suggest you pull the battery and check for blistering. We have found the UPS will pass the self test and have a battery that has melted the plastic battery housing to the point they have blistered.
