Can we keep UPS on floor?

Can you lay down UPS?
Many UPSes are designed to be convection cooled, so laying it on its side may block vents and/or alter the airflow enough to cause internal components to overheat. If it has an internal fan laying it down is probably OK provided you don’t block any vents.
Is it okay to keep UPS horizontally?
If the particular model is designed to be installed only in tower configuration, it should not be installed horizontally. The effects of gravity on the internal components along with other concerns could prevent the product from operating as specified in other orientations.
Where should UPS be placed?
Your UPS should be installed in a temperature controlled room that does not contain any windows or experiences high amounts of moisture. An ideal state would allow for a temperature control system that operates independently from the rest of your facility’s HVAC system.
How much ventilation does a UPS need?
In order to provide for adequate ventilation, the UPS should be installed in a room, which has at least 1000mm of clearance on the top side or the rear side of the UPS based on the ventilation type. This area of UPS should be cleared of any obstruction, which would impede air flow.

Do UPS need airflow?
It is important that adequate floor space has to be provided for the UPS. Most of the UPSs are designed for a maximum operating temperature of 40°C. The losses of the UPS is dissipated as heat and the UPS room should have the ventilation arrangement to remove the heat to maintain the ambient temperature below 40°C.
What is the safety of UPS?
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection, in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

How do I replace the battery in my ups?
Unplug the UPS from the wall, and unplug all devices from it. Remove any screws you fine, and open up the case. If you are as lucky as I was, the battery will have terminals that you can slide off. If not, just cut the wires as close to the battery as you can.
