SUA1500I power supply

[rudy_apc]

Hi all,

on my SUA1500I I replaced the battery (fully functional) is due to the following problem;

even though the battery charged to 100%, in the absence of 220 volt UPS does not properly handle continuity '.

In practice, despite new battery APC RBC7, with a load of 200 watts (about) in the absence of  220V  the battery drops of 80/90% in about 2 minutes.

Recommended thing to do for this  problem?

Hello,

Did you translate this by chance? because I am not sure I understand what "even though the battery charged to 100%, in the absence of 220 volt UPS does not properly handle continuity" means - was this a translated event from PowerChute or a Network Management Card?

It is possible that the UPS just needs to be calibrated to appropriately update the on battery runtime and also to operate properly during a power failure.

Have you done a calibration at all yet? There are instructions here to help with that - you could try a manual runtime calibration and let the UPS turn off fully and charge back up -> Why are the battery charge LEDs flashing on a Smart-UPS? | FAQs | Schneider Electric US (perhaps you also do see the battery charge LEDs flashing?)
