Nut upsuser - Mar 2024 - CyberPower PR3000LCDRTXL2U and NUT 2.8.0 - mute?

I have a CyberPower PR3000LCDRTXL2U with a BP48V75ART2U expansion 
chassis, which I am monitoring using NUT 2.8.0 (on Gentoo Linux).  TThe 
UPS appears to be telling me that the batteries need replacement due to 
age.  CyberPower support has confirmed that for me and told me how i 
should be able to mute the alarm from the front panel until I can 
replace the batteries, but it doesn't appear to be working.

I can send the PR3000LCDRTXL2U a beeper.disable or beeper.mute via 
upscmd, and upsc dutifully reports ups.beeper.status: disabled, but it 
keeps beeping.

Anyone else with a PR3000LCDRTXL2U have any useful tips?

All I can say is definitely replace the batteries if you are going to keep
using it.  The CyberPower(s) I have had in the past all have the battery
check that cannot be turned off and when the batteries are actually
"dead"
the unit will kill the load to everything every time it runs the check.
Just FYI.

So, I just rebuilt the battery packs in my PR3000LCDRTXL2U and its 
expansion unit.  You don't want to KNOW.  If the internal batteries have 
overheated and bulged, you CANNOT remove the battery pack intact even by 
partially disassembling the UPS, you have to pry the batteries out via 
the top of the chassis one by one.  It's not pretty.  Three and a half 
hours of work including repairing damaged wiring harnesses.


ANYWAY .....  can anyone by chance tell me how to reset the battery DATE 
on a CyberPower UPS using upscmd?
