Common Questions and Answers
- Does your recycling program cover only Tripp Lite UPS systems and batteries?
- No. We accept UPS systems and batteries from all manufacturers.
- Can you provide specific shipping instructions?
- Shipping UPS systems and batteries for recycling is your responsibility, but here are some general guidelines.
- If possible, ship the UPS system or battery using its original packaging.
- If the original packaging is no longer available, have a FedEx or UPS professional package the product for you.
- If you pack the UPS system or battery yourself, make sure that the unit is protected against damage during shipment. Select a sturdy, crush-resistant shipping container, such as a heavy-duty corrugated carton. Use plastic bubble wrap and crumpled newspaper to ensure a snug fit inside the box. The UPS is properly packaged if it does not move when the box is shaken. Do not use Styrofoam packing beads.
- If shipping a UPS, make sure the internal batteries are secure inside the unit.
- If shipping an external battery or battery pack, make sure the loose battery terminals are taped.
- Do you have safety guidelines for handling UPS systems and batteries?
- Yes. Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason except for battery replacement via the battery access panel. Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit currents. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (sealed Lead-Acid). Do not attempt to add an external battery pack to the UPS.
