[Acocoops] Notice of Recall - Installers and Users of 192V Battery Cartridge Used in Smart UPS On-Line Systems

[Bill Baer]

Excellent thanks !!!

We are just putting together an order for UPS battery replacements and this is timely !!!

I’ll share with the ticket I created and update Bill E. given they have many UPS in action with spare batteries as well.

Any UPS you have that may need a battery refresh?

CC-ed to team in charge of collecting data on UPS batteries.

Hi Bill,

Hi,
This looks legit because I know Rob but please investigate further. I didn’t open the attachment but it seems as though there is a potential for harm/injury.  If we have these batteries, let’s discuss before proceeding.
Regards,
Sheila

Please note I received a hard copy of this in my mailbox.
I cannot confirm the extent to which this may be relevant so I am casting a wide net.

Please forward to your campus contacts who may have this equipment installed.
There is a deadline of September 30.
