APC UPS 更换电池指示灯和 apcupsd 报告“更换电池”

Question

我们有一台 APC Smart UPS 1500。“更换电池”指示灯亮起，apcupsd 报告：

Emergency! Batteries have failed on UPS xxxx. Change them NOW

不过从这篇文章来看，

好像不是很清楚需要更换UPS电池。奇怪的是，根据有关 UPS 的信息，在 42.9% 负载下以 27.7V 运行 11 分钟的运行时间还不错。

关于下一步要尝试什么的任何想法？我们是非营利组织，金钱是一个对象。用一年左右的时间更换电池将是一种耻辱。

Answer 1

执行断流测试。这将告诉您电池的实际运行时间，而不是理论运行时间。它将负载切换到电池，并运行直到剩余运行时间或电池电量达到最小允许值，此时它将切换回主电源并为电池充电。

除非电池立即失效，否则您不应有任何停机时间。

这样做：

• 停止 apcupsd 服务
• 跑 apctest
• 选择 Perform battery calibration
