Note:
1. The runtime and charger rate will automatically recalculate once the External Battery Pack Tool process is
complete.
2. If the setup will no longer include external batteries, the UPS can be configured to work without external
batteries via the LCD Screen. See ExternalBatterySettingsControl section under BasicOperation for
details.
3. If external battery packs are removed, the UPS must be reset to “NO EXTERNAL BATTERY” via the LCD
interface or the External Battery Configuration Program available on the Tripp Lite website. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the internal batteries due to over-charging.
