Hello all, I have a CyberPower Systems CP850PFCLCD that I'm hooking up to NUT 2.4.3 from apt running under Ubuntu 10.04. Using the usbhid-ups driver, things *seem* to work at first glance, but there are some odd issues. The most notable issue is that the battery.charge indicator reads 120 when at full charge. I came across this post here:

Hello all: Does anyone know of a tool/project that will allow me to read the battery condition (not the charge status) on a Dell laptop battery? Under XP there is a utility that warns that the battery is still holding a charge but that the battery is degraded and should be replaced. Also, not sure if this is possible, but I would like to control how the laptop charges the battery. I tend to

Hi All, I have what is probably a 12 year old (or older) Compaq R3000 UPS plugged into a FreeBSD 8 system running NUT version 2.6.5 This UPS contains a total of 16 batteries in 2 banks of 8, each battery is 6 volts and the bank produces 50 volts. The UPS monitors battery voltage and the battery charger in the UPS works like this. For about 2 days it will apply a charge/float/topping voltage of 55.2 volts to the batteries. During that time the battery voltage measu...

The 3016 protocol models have issues with scaling on some of the voltages and frequencies. You can see

I got around to unplugging my UPS and I found it doesn't last nearly as long as estimated. Is the "upsmon[1446]: UPS desktop_ups at localhost battery is low" logged when "battery.runtime:" = "battery.runtime.low: 120"? Does any make better batteries that don't go down faster when they get old? battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 50 battery.date: not set battery.mfr.date: 2015/09/19 battery.runtime: 6448 battery.runtime.low: 120 battery.type: PbAc battery.voltage: 13.5 battery.voltage.nominal: 12.0 device.mf...

Hello, This may be a really stupid question, but can a gel type marine battery be used in a UPS? Thanks

I've got an MSI K9N Platinum MS 7250 VER 1.1 motherboard with a dead battery. The battery mounts vertically: http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/battery.png To me, the tab on the right would seem to need moving. It does not want to move. I am reluctant to apply any more force than I already have without knowing how to apply it. How do I remove the battery? -- Michael hennebry

Using nut v2.2.2, and the APC serial cable. I have a client who's APC SMART-UPS 1500 (circa 2000) is always reporting LB. The batteries were old so they were replaced two weeks ago with brand new batteries. UPS still reported low batteries... I ran a calibration and a test on the unit (using the nut upscmd utility) During those tests, the battery charge on the unit goes to zero and slowly starts making its way back up 100%. Then,...

Hello. I have this UPS: Krauler UP-D1200VA Megatec USB protocol Vendor ID: 0x0001, Device ID: 0x0000 #KRAULER UP-D1200VA VER6.00 #220.0 004 23.50 50.0 Currently I have nut 2.2.0 installed from sources. Installation was successful except that I had to change a string in 52-nut-usbups.rules from: SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", GOTO="nut-usbups_rules_end" to:

...saw that there is a lot of people confused about battery voltage and I want to help them to clear out some stuff in their heads. This story is based on my experience with UPS devices from 600VA to 20kVA, from single phase systems to three phase systems, with battery packs from 1 battery to 62 batteries in both technologies interactive (aka stand-by) and on-line (aka double-conversion) but all of them were "speaking" megatec. Anyway this does not necessarily relater only to megatec enabled UPSs this is story for all UPSs and their batteries. On one hand we have UPS manufactures which...

Hi, folks. I need some new replacement batteries for rack-mount APC UPSes. My old vender... well, the salesman I dealt with for several years left about a year and a half ago, and last year's purchase was a disaster (wrong batteries, wrong batteries, months to get the shipping to return the wrong batteries...), so I'm looking for a new, r...

The battery was replaced in December and the output from upsc was: $ upsc desktop_ups battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 20 battery.mfr.date: CPS battery.runtime: 1020 battery.runtime.low: 300 battery.type: PbAcid battery.voltage: 13.5 battery.voltage.nominal: 12 device.mfr: CPS device.model: UPS CP850AVRLCD device.type: ups driver.name: usbhid-ups

Hello all, long time away from this list, glad to be around again! I have this Powercom Vanguard VGN VGD-20K31. Some details of this model: * 3-phase input, single phase output * Model has 240V / 12V9AH x 20 x 2SET, plus another set of 20 batteries. All in all, 3 sets * Serial connection to Windows 2k3 server with UPSMon Now I was strongly considering replacing the bundled no-good upsmoon crap, with NUT, in order to enable shutdown of other systems powered the same ups, using a NUT master-slave installation. So, I installed NUT on a XP s...
