Can the APC BR1600SI UPS Be Laid Flat?
For space claim, could I place the APC BR1600SI UPS (960W/1600VA) flat instead of standing upright. Is it safe for prolonged use in that orientation and are there any potential of leaks or damage to the device itself?
If it can be laid flat, what are the precautions and setup that needs to be carried out
