APC Battery Pack for Smart-UPS 3000VA SU48BP Leaflet

When used with external battery packs, the extended run (XL) Smart-UPS offers longer run times than a standard Smart-UPS and extra load protection during
battery replacement. When replacing the batteries either in the UPS or battery pack(s), the UPS can still respond to a power disturbance using the remaining
connected batteries.  Please refer to the User’s Manual for basic information about the Smart-UPS and the Smart-UPS XL Supplement for additional information on
extended run versions of the UPS.  This supplement provides information on the battery packs.

To obtain warranty coverage, please fill out and return the warranty registration card now.

Inspect the battery pack upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it properly.

This figure shows the location of the battery pack connector on the SU3000 tower unit (right), the 5U
SU3000RM (bottom), and the SU1000XL tower unit (left). Some UPS models have the battery pack
connector in different positions, but the size and shape of the connector is always the same.

Battery pack connectors are color coded as shown in the table below. Battery pack connectors are also keyed
to prevent improper connection. Do not try to install battery packs with connectors that are a different color
from the battery pack connector in the UPS.
