Battery Backup Guide

wwekanerulez asked:


I’m pretty sure I have model, Belkin F6C550-AVR UPS. I got it around Christmas time last year, so it’s not very old. Less than a year. The problem started early this morning. 4 AM I guess, around there. It’s been beeping for hours now. It’s one short beep every 30 seconds maybe. It does maybe 4 or 5, estimation. It stops for several minutes, I’d say around 10. It has a green light, it’s not red or yellow… so from what I know it’s not dead or anything. I HAVE to have a backup battery for my computer… long story. Some help would be appreciated. I’m gonna call the computer shop I got it at in a couple of hours to see what they can tell me. I think they’re open. Ha, anyways, I thought I’d give this a try. Also, I’ve unplugged it for 30 seconds and plugged it back in. Didn’t work. And I’ve held the power button and then cut it back on. No luck. So I’m stumped. I find it ridiculous that I might have to replace it when it’s not even a year old and it should last for 2 or 3 years. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have the original Cannon Battery Pack NB-5L.Should I get the same one or what is a really good backup battery?
I wasn’t going to buy a generic battery at all,this camera wasn’t cheap.I got it for Christmas at Sears,should I go there and see if they have the same battery?

I want to buy digital frames as Christmas gifts but not sure what to buy. Price range is $80-$120. Want min. 640 x 480, prefer 4:3 and not widescreen (but openminded), would like a remote and a battery backup. Help!

For Christmas yesterday I got a bigger battery for my laptop. What do I do with the one it came with, and how do I store it? Should I run it down to dead…should I fully charge it…how often should I switch between batteries…is it worth keeping an extra as a backup…?

My laptop is being used as a desktop replacement, so it spends most of its time on my desk plugged in.
