This Technical Information Publication (TIP) describes the procedure for replacing the batteries in FERRUPS FE and QFE
10, 12.5, and 18 KVA units. A qualified service person familiar with the FERRUPS unit must install the batteries. If you
encounter any problems during this procedure, call Best Power Worldwide Service at 1-800-356-5737 (U.S. and Canada only),
1-608-565-2100, or call your local Best Power office.
Tools Needed — Use Insulated Tools:

CAUTION!
This procedure must be performed by qualified service personnel ONLY! FERRUPS units are designed to provide power
under a variety of operating conditions. Dangerous voltages may be present even if AC line or DC voltage is removed.
TEST BEFORE TOUCHING!
Turn off the FERRUPS according to the procedure describing “How (and When) to Shut Down Your FERRUPS” in the
FERRUPS User Manual (Section 308). Make sure that the FERRUPS batteries and the AC input are off or disconnected
before you replace the batteries.
This unit contains electrostatic-sensitive devices. If you do not follow proper ESD procedures, you may cause
severe damage to the electrical circuitry.
FERRUPS batteries are high current sources. Shorting battery terminals can cause severe arcing, equipment damage,
and injury. A short circuit can cause a battery to explode.
Best Power recomments the following for qualified service personnel servicing the FERRUPS unit:
A) Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry before servicing the FERRUPS unit.
B) Always wear protective clothing and eye protection and use insulated tools when working near batteries.
C) Whenever servicing an energized unit with the doors open, electric shock is possible; follow all local safety
codes.
