Installing the new batteries in to the UPS is not a difficult job, certainly well within the reach of most people, you can refer to your user manual for the method if required, they are designed to be replaced, the ones we send to you will be almost fully charged but the UPS will still complete a service charge upon installation, you should take note that while this is happening the system will not be able to offer the full backup runtime period until its finished, you probably just want to install and leave the system to its devices but its best to run the system without a load to so it can properly reset
Batteries used in this application would have expected life span of between two to five years, this will unfortunately be very dependent on the general conditions its put under, good ventilation is always important, so often they are used as a book shelf, try and keep the constant load below 40%, while it may well be capable of much more it will shorten the battery life so it's a balancing act
These batteries will require no general maintenance whatsoever, this of course does not include charging, they are AGM and VRLA, they are also not-hazardous so safe to use in busy data centres or the home office, they can be used in rack mountable or tower systems as they will not leak if mounted on the side
