Hp R5500 Xr Ups Drivers For Mac

. 51 Answers SOURCE: Seems like your Battery is very low. Try charging the battery for a few hours. If the problem persists, it maybe the time to get a new battery.

Like all batteries, UPS Batteries (that store electricity and let s you use it in case of a power failure) have a limited life. This life is averaged to be around 2 years. So in case your UPS has been in use for approximately that much amount of time, the battery is in a near death situation. For instructions regarding replacing the battery, please refer to your UPS Manual.

PS: Also, I have noticed this kind of behavior when the UPS is connected to a socket powered by an Inverter. This kind of behavior is observed when the Inverter battery is running low. Posted on Oct 17, 2007. 19 Answers SOURCE: On this unit, the likely culprit is the battery and that it needs to be replaced. With that, you may want to think about the pros and cons of replacement versus buying an entirely new unit. This unit is a relatively low end ups and the surge supression uses MOVs that wear out with repeated absorption of energetic spikes.

That's why the better (and higher cost) UPSs and surge suppressors don't use them. They're not really that good anyway due to their relatively high transient impedance. The better equipment uses a 'transorb' - basically a back-to-back high voltage zener diode optimized for low breakover impedance and high instantaneous power capability. Unless the transient exceeds the design parameters of the circuit, these do not wear out and do not degrade.

That being said, I will assume that you would likely replace this unit with a similar one. The flashing may not be the battery at all and may be the charging circuitry, thus your new battery may not live very long (half the life that you would expect. Many batteries out there are refurbs and have issues as all used parts do. If you contact APC, they will likely give you a 35% discount on purchasing a new product.
