How to find your Date Code

Finding the date code will help you identify if your unit is affected.

The date code is the first six characters of the serial number found on the model and serial number label attached to the rear panel of the product. This label may be located behind the front bezel as well. For the battery module inside your UPS/external battery pack, the model and serial number is on either battery module.
