Am I doing something Wrong?
Hello to all,
As some know I just installed a UPS on my system, an APC 550 Watt unit. I've noticed having it three days, that when I turn the UPS on it it blinks. On looking on the APC software log it shows that there were three events where the battery was turned on for 10 seconds due to line noise. These events seem to occur when I turned it on the first three times. For clarity I have a Surge Supressor strip feeding all the other devices plugged into the surge protected only outlet on the UPS and it does not turn off when the it is powered down. I shut it down at night and when the box is off and the monitor show it's off, then I turn the UPS off.
Am I doing something wrong? I also noted that the UPS reached originally a runtime of 26 minutes on a full charge. Now it only goes to 14 minutes power with the battery fully charged. What might be causing this.
Thanks from the ignorant side.
