Limited Product Warranty DataSafe® HX, HX-FT, HX+

LEAD ACID STATIONARY BATTERIES

VALVE REGULATED LEAD ACID UPS CYCLE SERVICE

EnerSys Delaware Inc. (“EnerSys”) warrants its DataSafe® HX, HX-FT and HX+ Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) UPS cycle service batteries, racks and cabinets against defective materials and workmanship for the full period as defined in Table A or Table B set forth below, from the date the battery is placed in service or the full period plus six months from the date of shipment, whichever occurs first.

A. If initial physical inspection identifies flaws in material or workmanship that would impair life of the battery, as defined by this warranty, or product performance, as defined by the EnerSys electrical and physical specification as published at the time of shipment and these flaws are not due to transportation damage or installation abuse;

OR

B. If on initial “Acceptance Test”, as defined in IEEE Std. 1188, “IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Batteries for Stationary Applications”, the properly installed battery string fails to meet the published performance ratings* per the latest catalog data published by EnerSys at the time of shipment.

In the event of either A or B above, then contact your nearest EnerSys sales representative to request instructions. You will be instructed either a) to return the equipment to an EnerSys factory or service center location, FOB Destination-Freight Prepaid, for examination, or b) to wait until an EnerSys representative arrives at the site to inspect the equipment.

If EnerSys determines the battery, rack or cabinet is physically or electrically unsound due to defective materials or workmanship on the part of EnerSys, the defective cell(s) or rack component(s) will be repaired or replaced at the option of EnerSys without charge to the original User (as defined below) for replacement materials or repair labor. However, costs of replacement installation, including but not limited to, equipment, travel expenses of EnerSys representatives(s), and costs of material transportation expenses shall be borne by the User. The replacement battery shall only complete the remaining unused portion of the original warranty of the replaced battery.

The battery is warranted to have a float or cycle life, whichever occurs first, from the date of shipment, as stated below, and based on conditions stipulated in the installation/maintenance instructions.

*Published performance ratings.

Initial capacity shall be a minimum of 100% of the rated string capacity (kWb) upon shipment per IEEE-1188.

(over)

**Discharge cycles are based on an end voltage of 1.67 Vpc.

Normal battery float/cycle life may be expected only when the battery is operated under the aforementioned temperature conditions.

If operation of the battery is not within these parameters, the battery warranty shall be null and void.

Useful service life is considered to have expired when the battery fails to deliver 80% of its rated string capacity. The rated string capacity is that which is published in EnerSys catalog literature at the time of shipment. The determination of actual capacity shall be made in accordance with the “performance test” guidelines of IEEE Std. 1188. If the battery is maintained per the installation/maintenance instructions and other recommendations contained in this document and fails to deliver 80% of its rated string capacity, EnerSys shall credit the purchaser (user) toward the purchase of a new EnerSys battery of equal or greater amp-hour capacity.

Either the cycle or float service warranty will be used to determine warranty credit. The type of duty that shows the most use will be the governing factor.

Cycle Credit – Cycle credit is determined on battery usage. An approved cycle monitor must be used in order to obtain the cycle warranty.

Cycle credit is determined as follows: (Refer to Table B)

100 x cycles 180 cyclesmin 5 of # cycles 140 cyclesmin 10 of # cycles 120 cyclesmin 15 of # cycles 100 cyclesmin 30 of# 1credit cycle %

Float Credit – Float service is determined from the install date or six months after shipment, whichever occurs first. Table A will be used to determine float credit.
