Hi Andrius

Sorry to hear you are having some issue with your unit, did the load attached to those outlets powered off?  Also I'd like to get the model number and serial number of the UPS.

Regards

Hi,

It is possible that the battery needs to be replaced based on the age of the unit. Have you run a self-test and if so does it pass? Also, what is the battery voltage?

hi

it can be battery, while i did not run self test but i can see in logs that before all outages there was performed self test authomatically:

02/18/2017	08:07:26	UPS: passed via internal operation a self-test.
02/18/2017	08:07:16	UPS: Started a self-test.

does that can mean that battery in good condition? Also can provide output of UPS measurements and it also looks fine:
