Anjay M asked: I have a 600VA ups with a 100Ah battery. I merely get about two hours of backup when running on batteries at half the load. I had both the battery and UPS replaced under warranty and its the same.There is a scheduled power cut for exactly 2 hours everyday, so that gives 22 hours without any interruptions for the battery to charge which I believe should suffice .
The people at APC tell me that I should get atleast 4.5 hours of backup running at about half the load(300VA/~180 Watts) and 2 hours at full load(600VA/~360 watts). APC has load indicators to indicate the load when running on the batteries
I m totally clueless on what to do next ? The electrical appliances connected are just a couple of tubelights and fans.
How would I able to diagnose if something is wrong in the wiring configuration ? Thats the only thing left for me to diagnose, but where and how do I start ?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Anjay.

codenamebass asked:
I have an APC battery backup/surge protector, obviously, and I’ll be using my computer and the solid tone beep will just start going off. Power didn’t go out, the light on the battery backup is still on, the only connections i’m using are the 3 with surge protection. the ones without surge protection aren’t touched. anyone know whats happening? or how I avoid it?

My computer turns off without a warning and suddenly (like a snap) the entire household electric turns back up and so does my computer… why? I thought I am protected.
My APC is on (green light) all the time.
Thanks all for your time and effort.

shesacountrygirl asked:
I tried to install my husband and mine’s computer in our new house this weekend. We are renting and it is a little bit older house, but it is in good condition. We have a surge protector/battery backup and when I plugged it in the wall fault light started blinking, but didn’t stay lit. It has been unplugged for a couple of days, so I’m wondering if the problem is that the battery just needs charging. I talked to the landlord and the couples before us had computers which worked fine and also had Directv. The surge protector is a APC surge protector/battery backup.

I need an inexpensive APC which will alert me by text or email if the power has died. Can anyone recommend one?
