Heavy thunderstorm caused power outage in our area, and to my surprise the CyberPower 1500 UPS didn't provide even a minute of backup power. Computer and drives just died when we lost power.
This unit is six years old, so it wouldn't surprise me if the batteries were gone. But the Battery-Capacity icon on the display shows full! And the Current Load is modest; the display says c. 46 minutes of Time to Shut Down. But if I test by unplugging from the wall, it just dies.
When plugged in, there is no Fault symbol, and no Replace Battery icon either.
So what's up with it? If there's something wrong with the circuitry, I don't want to buy new batteries. It's model no. 1500PFCLCD.
