Installing a Battery Backup Unit

This article will walk you through the process of preparing a new battery backup unit and connecting your devices to it.

Battery Backup Units are meant to provide enough power to your POS equipment to allow you to properly shut then down/power them off before the battery runs out.  Once power is restored, you can then turn on/power up your equipment.

Please note that these steps are for an APC BE600M1 model and some steps may not apply to all makes/models.

    1. Remove the battery backup unit from its packaging.
