New APC UPS battery charging yet drops charge %
I have had an APC 500 UPS for years. The battery started giving
warnings that it needed replaced. I didn't listen right away and eventually the old battery caused problems. I ended up loosing two PSU's and having flaky results on my WIFI AP until I realized the problem was the UPS. So I removed the UPS. I replaced the APC 500 UPS battery with a battery direct from APC. I let it charge for a day before putting it back in. It is now back in place and running. The APC software asked me if I replaced the battery and I selected that I had. Now the battery is going from 100% charged down. Right now it is at 78% and dropping slowly. Is this normal calibration? I can't find anything about this on the web. I am worried that this is not normal and there are additional problems with the UPS. |

If I remember correctly, APC units do tend to do this during a calibration test, and it takes a while too, although I cant remember exactly how long. I noticed this problem too when I installed an apc unit and spent a few hours trying to get hold of apc to find out that this was indeed normal calibration. It should recharge again after it hits 0%. I wouldnt count on it for backup power purposes until it finishes its calibration though. Oh and by the way, if you disconnect the power to the UPS during the calibration, I seem to recall it will charge the battery to full and restart the calibration. |

Your right. That's what it did. It's now back to 100% and running
normal. Thanks. |
