Hi
I have replaced the internal Batteries for SURT8000XLI UPS with Genuine RBC140, at power outage the LED indicator goes to 25% immediately while the UPS sustain the load for 12 min so i need a solution noting that i performed three complete charge / discharge cycles and performed the UPS self test as well

Hello,
We recommends to follow the below procedures:
- brain dead the unit after disconnecting the loads to reset the control logic
-Then start up the UPS again and insert the loads (should be min 30 %)
-Ensure you changed the battery replacement date from UPS NMC
-Then perform start up test, once passed
-Leave the batteries to charge for 48 hours
-Then perform runtime calibration test with same 30 % load from the NMC
-Once passed leave the batteries to charge for 24 hours
-Then perform discharge test by disconnecting the UPS input mains with the same 30% load
-Leave the batteries to discharge until the connected loads shutdown even if the battery LED lit up this will allow the controller to update battery runtime constant
-then return back mains to the UPS and let the UPS charge the batteries for 24 hours while maintain the desired load level 30 %
we usually instruct this to our service centers to perform the procedures using load bank or dummy load
Regards,
Karim
