Back-Ups XS900 - Wont power back on after extended down time

BillP · ‎2021-06-29

I have a Back-Ups XS900 that was unplugged for about a month due to me moving things around the house and stuff. Now that im trying to get this unit back online it refuses to power back on.

I unplugged the battery from the unit over night and left it unplugged from the wall to see if it would "reset" itself but it still wont come back on.

Any ideas?

The unit is kind of old, i got it when circuit city was going out of business. I can post the serial number tonight but im pretty sure it out of warranty by now. I did try the unit while not plugged in and it also didnt respond to that attempt.

I really hope that it didnt just die out of no where like that as i had recently changed the batteries on it about a month before its down time and ill be pissed if that is the case.

I have two older units 650's that continue to kick butt, just replace the batts ever few years and they keep on trucking.

How old is the back ups? Do you have a serial #? It's shown on the white tag on the back of the back ups. You can also try to power the unit on while unplugged. This will test the utility voltage as well.
