APC 2200VA UPS Won't Charge New Batteries
Mar 8, 2011I've got an APC 2200VA rack mount UPS. A Smart-UPS series.It's almost 10 years old and the old batteries were obviously worn out so I bought new ones. They are in fact the proper replacements, I triple checked.
Installed the new batteries and plugged the UPS in with no load so they could charge up and let it charge for two days. Everything checked out according to the web interface control panel and the indicator lights.
Now that I've plugged my gear into it, no where near close to the max load btw, the battery light won't stop blinking. Started with one indicator stating no charge, and now all five of the lights are blinking.
The web control panel says my batteries are discharged, battery capacity is 100% (wtf), runtime is 0 minutes, battery voltage is 55.05 VDC.
I ran a self test and it passed. I also did the recommended calibration test because of the new batteries.
