I did a test today with my UPS to make sure the battery is working normally. Unraid is set to power down at 600 seconds (10 minutes) or 20% battery power. I unplugged the UPS from the wall and it switched to battery. I have a 900 watt UPS so run time at idle is about 30-40 minutes. Unraid emailed me at 9:21 PM that power loss was detected. Then immediately after I got a second email also 9:21 PM saying Unraid was shutting down due to battery level below the 20% threshold. Sure enough, the PC powered down. I plugged the UPS back in and can see from its LCD that the battery was still above 90%. This is honestly the first time I've conducted such a test but the UPS is brand new and otherwise working normally.
For now I've emptied the setting to shut down based on percent and just using seconds now. Hopefully this can be addressed. I'm happy to provide logs directly to someone at Unraid but would prefer not to post them to the forum publicly even using the anonymous function.
Here's the two emails I got from the system. Funny enough the one about shutting down came in before the one about running on batteries.
