APC Smart UPS 3000 Runtime Problem

[Anonymous user]

Hi all, I have a problem with the UPSs 3000 (Smart-UPS 3000 RM XL SUA3000RMXLI 3U). I have had an alarm with "Discharged battery" on both of them. I replace the batttery with a new RBC kit but still the same problem. - Discharged battery - The battery is too low to support the load; if power fails, the ups will be shut down immediately. - Last Battery Transfer: Unacceptable utility voltage rate of change - Input Voltage: 217.4 VAC - Output Voltage: 216.0 VAC - Runtime Remaining: 1 minute I tried to run the Runtime calibration when I got 100% of battery capacity, UPS Self-test as I did usually but still the same error. The LEDs are always flashing I need help mays be I have to reset the APC after the battery replacement ?

Please review this thread that I just responded to. http://forums.apc.com/spaces/5/smart-ups-symmetra-lx-rm/forums/general/10846/smart-ups-3000 My first few paragraphs and reference to how to handle a flashing battery bar graph would also apply to you.

Can you be more clear on what happened when you tried to run a runtime calibration and how you did it and with what percentage load?
