There was a small power blip at the premises and afterwards everything came back up except the UPS! It no shows no lights and has a continuous beep.
I've tried a different power cable, and tried plugging it in when nothing is attached but still the same.
Is the battery dead or has the UPS failed completely?

Is this a continuous set of beeps or one constant tone? Also, how old is the unit (serial #) and have you ever replaced the battery? If there are any accessory cards installed in the unit or communication cables, unplug them and try again. It sounds like the UPS is the problem but it would be nice to have all the information.

It's a bog standard SU700 with no additional extras or cards. About 4yrs old (I think) serial # JS0327015270
The beep is one long continuous beep/tone and not a series of beeps.
It still happens when the only thing plugged in is the power lead.
I too think it's the UPS itself that has failed, which is kinda ironic as that's supposed to protect everything else when the power flips; but then perhaps you could say it has done that, just as a one time event, LoL
