pickthenimp Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I've had my UPS working fine with Unraid for over 3 years. All of the sudden the battery charge is showing 0% and Runtime is 0 minutes. This is also causing my unraid to receive the shutdown command since I guess it thinks I have a power outage? My issue seems a lot like the one described here: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45415.0 However a new usb port didnt fix it for me. Could my UPS be going bad?

nacat78 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Sounds about right, time to replace batteries within the UPS, just had this happen to my setup.... ONLINE LOWBATT status is usually caused by either depleted or bad batteries. Quote Link to comment
FreeMan Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I've had good success replacing them at BatteriesPlus. Not affiliated in any way, they've just been good prices and are located locally (to just about anywhere, I think) which saves on shipping heavy batteries. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 To answer your question, NO, your UPS isn't going bad => you just need to replace the batteries Note that the unit has 2 batteries, so you need to get a 2-pack of batteries.
