...Maybe I am completely wrong but this behaviour rhymes quite well with a faulty (old) battery which reports being charged but actually cannot really hold the charge. I suggest taking it off and verifying it with a voltmeter , preferably while having a consumer connected as well ( like a good old 12V incandescent light bulb, as those used for cars i.e. 25-45W or so ) Wolfy

Good Day Roger AA. notice that during the test, you have little or no load, since despite being in state OB DISCHRG the battery.charge is still 100. It's best to perform such tests with a dummy load such as a table lamp and an old fashioned incandescent 100 watt bulb. ==> Yes.

Good Day Roger Price AA. Hi, Normally one would expect the UPS to disconnect it's power outlets after the default ups.delay.shutdown = 20 seconds. ==> I got it. I tried to command "upsdrvctl shutdown" on both line-mode and battery-mode ==> But ups do not disconnect its outlets power ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BB.

...roblem? One would not expect such a battery to support any load. I notice that during the test, you have little or no load, since despite being in state OB DISCHRG the battery.charge is still 100.

The NUT default value is 30 secs, and you do not change the value in ups.conf. > DD. Does wall successfully notify the users on an Ubuntu system??? If you > type >...

My experience on situations like this is that it is almost always a bad battery.  Once load is removed, the voltage bounced back, and thus you show time/capacity, but it's possible that the sag under load drops you into LB, and causes the shutdown. If the UPS has a battery test, give it a try, or load test the battery external to the UPS if you can - I suspect that the UPS will be fine,

Hi, I'm using a gamasonic UPS with a megatec driver since two years with no problem. I'm running a Linux server Debian Etch 4.0 and the nut package is ( taken from dpkg -l nut ) ii nut 2.0.4-4 The core system of the nut - Network UPS Tools Today morning I found the UPS powered off. I had to manually power it on. I found the following

Is the battery old? PbAc ones usually last for 2-3 years and then degrade. Should be a field-replaceable part. Some 20 years ago I had an APC BackUPS become a glorified power strip every few years, so when the wall power disappeared - load went down immediately. It was also beeping about battery replacement (but in the closet, was not often noticed quickly). This is also a way for you to check if

A little off topic but.... I need to put a 24 port Gig PoE switch into a small office - no computer room / rack etc. All CAT5 terminates near the owners desk (smart huh?). I want to put a PoE switch in place, with 24 ports and Gig speed. Everyone I've researched so far is LOUD... Anyone know of a quiet one?

Hello, Somewhat off-topic, but seeking some input from other tech folk on this list. I have a Tripp-Lite SMART 2200 (a white tower that looks similar to, but predates the black SMART2200NET) that just failed its monthly battery test so I bought new batteries and replaced the old ones. Sadly once put back together, plugged in and enabled it did not power up--no lights, sounds, smoke, etc. I took

...lure... How safe is it to have things set up this way ? Does it create some security problems ? Thanks in advance Pascal A. Dupuis -- Q: How many existentialists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: Two. One to screw it in and one to observe how the lightbulb itself symbolizes a single incandescent beacon of subjective reality in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching out toward a maudlin cosmos of nothingness.

Is there a method to view the status of the rams ecc single or double bit errors? I would like to confirm that ecc on my xeon e5520 and ecc ram are performing their role since memtest is ambiguous.

...he 3003 protocol, so experimenting might be easier. Most important are the "OB" and "LB" status bits. Unfortunately, there is no good way to generate the LB signal besides running the battery down. You might need more than a Raspberry Pi to do this in short order. I like to use incandescent lights instead of computers for test loads, because if the UPS pulls power at an inopportune time, you won't have nearly as much filesystem damage on a light bulb. I think the 'M' command shows the min and max voltages - see if there is something similar in the Windows display. Also,...
