My UPS has an LCD that says the battery is 100% and the estimated run time is 12min. The uspc has similar results. The problem is when line power is lost the UPS batter goes to 0% very quickly (seconds). It charged to 85% when power was restored. 86-100% is slower. I did: $ upscmd desktop_ups test.battery.start.deep Username (admin): Password: OK Now the ups.test.result says there is a warning. I suspect this will tell me the error. $ upsc desktop_ups ups.test.result Done and warning How do I get more details about the result? Surely there must be more. Are the symptoms consistent w...

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....

...was (it should be). The battery.runtime is better for my desktop (it's supposed to be worse) and my raspberry pi is worse (I hoped for hours better). What am I seeing? I switched them for longer raspberry pi time and the APC battery is getting old. :-) This is before the switch: /bin/upsc desktop_ups battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 20 battery.mfr.date: CPS battery.runtime: 2730 (~ 45 minutes) 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.nam...

In my experience batteries die after about 4 years. No UPS that I owned could tell that the...

...t around to unplugging my UPS and I found it doesn't last nearly as long as estimated. The estimates are typically less accurate when the load is light (output is showing 5%). Also, as Eyal mentioned, five years is getting old for a lead-acid battery. > > Is the "upsmon[1446]: UPS desktop_ups at localhost battery is low" logged when "battery.runtime:" = "battery.runtime.low: 120"? To first approximation, yes. Technically, upsmon is looking for the LB flag in ups.status, which is usually sent in a status bit from the UPS. But "battery.runtime.low" is o...

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 dr...
