I recently I replaced my old Cyber Power UPS (CP1500AVRLCDa) with the latest iteration (CP1500AVRLCD3) because the batteries in the old one went to a quiet place. So far, everything seems to be working as intended. The new one is a Cyber Power CP1500AVRLCD3 Here's the output I see ... # upsc ups2 battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 20 battery.mfr.date: CPS battery.runtime: 4750 battery.runtime.low: 300 battery.type: PbAcid battery.voltage: 27.3 battery.voltage.nominal: 24 device.mfr: CPS device.model: CP1500AVRLCD3 device.serial: [redacted] device.type: ups driver.debug: 0 driver.flag.allow_killpower: 0 driver.flag.onlinedischarge: enabled driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.parameter.synchronous: auto driver.state: quiet driver.version: 2.8.1 driver.version.data: CyberPower HID 0.8 driver.version.internal: 0.52 driver.version.usb: libusb-1.0.27 (API: 0x100010a) input.voltage: 121.0 input.voltage.nominal: 120 output.voltage: 121.0 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: 20 ups.delay.start: 30 ups.load: 12 ups.mfr: CPS ups.model: CP1500AVRLCD3 ups.productid: 0601 ups.realpower.nominal: 900 ups.serial: [redacted] ups.status: OL ups.test.result: No test initiated ups.timer.shutdown: -60 ups.timer.start: -60 ups.vendorid: 0764
Thanks, I've queued it to NUT DDL processing, so it would be published there eventually :) Out of curiosity, were there any other problems with the original UPS (electronics age, capacitors dry out and all that) - was a mere battery replacement not a solution?

Thus I have a few questions/comments, if you are inclined and of course feel entirely free to not answer or to answer what you can without effort. It looks like this has a UL 1776 approval: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1751073-REG/cyberpower_cp1500avrlcd3_1500va_900w_line_interactive_lcd.html/specs Is that right? It is configured for 10 as battery.charge.low and 20 for warning. I would be tempted to increase those to 20/40, depending on your real goals. But I don't know how real they are anyway. I am most concerned about safety, reliability, and runtime at around 100 VA, as I am thinking about router, switch and POE. (For desktops, I'm ok with a plan of powering down once power has been out for a minute.) Your load value is 12, and I'm guessing that's 12% of 900 VA which is 108 VA. It looks like this takes 2 batteries, 12V 9 Ah. Do you think that's right? In theory that's 216 Wh as a 'not to exceed' value. The specs about say 108 Vah (a typo for VAh, but that doesn't really make sense as VA is an AC concept). Assuming 100 Wh usable from the battery (which I guessed before finding the above specs), and 75% efficiency (?), this should last maybe 45 minutes. Specs claim 12 minutes at half load. The runtime shown by nut is 4750. Lots of conflicting information. Have you put a power meter on your load (to read VA and W) to check the "12"? Have you done a simulated failure test to obtaind the actual runtime, and even better to log the battery voltage and claimed runtime during the rundown? This is a little rough on the batteries but my take is that if batteries aren't tested once a year, you really don't know if they are ok, and once a year testing isn't what kills them. It seems like the trend is to have more and more output power from the same 2 medium batteries. (At work long ago I had an APC 1500 VA that had 2 12V 18Ah batteries.) I wonder if the efficiency at 100 VA is as ok as it used to be. To me "runtime at 100 VA" is the big thing, but the specs are price and max power/VA. Did you think about the sine-wave version CP1500PFCLCD? Thanks, Greg
