Run Time Calibration
A few questions:
After a new ups is installed should a run time calibration be ran to get the most accurate reading?
A run time calibration should be ran after new batteries are installed...correct?
Should a run time calibration be ran yearly?

1.) Yes, once all your load is attached this is a good idea.
2.) Yes, you can do it at this time as well
3.) Yes and maybe if you change your load around a lot. I would not do it more than 1-2 times a year or after you change the batteries.
