Eaton 9170+ Battery Charger Module User's Guide 164201399 Rev Ewww.eaton.com/powerquality1Chapter 1 IntroductionThe optional Battery Charger Module is designed to provide additionalcurrent for faster recharging of uninterruptible power system (UPS)battery modules in systems with many batteries.NOTE To realize maximum module functionality, install Battery Charger Modules in theUPS cabinet.For systems with especially long runtime requirements, DIP switches onthe rear panel of the Battery Charger Module make it possible to installthe module in a specially designed external battery cabinet (ASY-0739).The Battery Charger Module is capable of providing up to 20 amperes ofcurrent for optimum charging, based upon the condition and number ofbatteries in the system.Examples of improved system recharge times are shown in Table 1.Note that larger systems require at least one (or more) Battery ChargerModules to be able to recharge the larger number of battery modules.Table 1.
