    Re: Back-UPS RS 800 Not charging

    just disconnected the anderson powerpole connector to the back of a connext(apc)700.
    chirping and replace battery came on.
    the battery probably could be totally worn out without tripping the warning.
    its an exide d31 agm.

      got a datecode stamped on them?
      you normally do.

        its modded with an external truck battery.
        if the date on the battery is what you are after its sometime mid 2013.
        no date on the ups.

          There are some terrific pictures in this thread that can be used to help with my situation so I will bump this old thread. I also have a blown f3 fuse, when I removed the fuse I jumped the fuse terminals and my batteries started charging. However, the resistor (r145) right next to it got so hot it melted the solder holding it in place. Any Ideas? Is the resistor No good?

            A resistor getting hot means it's passing too much current. Probably something downstream from that resistor is shorted - which makes sense considering the fuse blew.

            If the resistor wasn't bad already, it likely is now, if it got that hot. You should replace the resistor and you also need to find out where the short is that blew the fuse in the first place.

              It seems one of the mosfets is shorted, Is there anyone that can tell me the value of the r145 resistor? Mine is a tad toasty and from the pictures I am coming up with .78 ohm which is proving difficult to source.

                So I figured I'd post an update in case anyone else happens to have the same problem. Since one person already has, it's probably likely.

                After using the UPS as a surge protector for the past 8 years and having my computer turn off after every little power flicker, I figured it was finally time to fix it.

                After a quick google search, I was able to find the schematic for this exact UPS complete with proper component designators and values. I don't know if I just previously did not look, or if the schematic has been uploaded since I worked on it last time. I will attach the schematic in case anyone else needs it.

                The 5th page of the schematic is conveniently labelled "Battery Charger Circuit". It didn't take long to trace the cause of the blown F3 fuse to a shorted MOSFET Q40. The part number of the MOSFET is 94-2358 which is some discontinued International Rectifier FET with no datasheet available. Since the schematic lists it as a 100V FET and the circuit runs through a 2A fuse, it shouldn't be too critical what replacement is used. I ended up using a 230V 25A FET that I had lying around from a salvaged plasma Y-Sus board. I'm sure this is overkill but it was handy and it had the correct footprint.

                After replacing the MOSFET and the fuse, the unit now charges my batteries just fine. I am using two large batteries from a mobility scooter and they seem to be working well.

                Hopefully this can help someone else out.

                  Cyberpower cps1500avr not charging batteries
                  by carrzkiss
                  Hello, all.

                  Cyberpower Battery Backup Unit.

                  I bought two new ML18-12 batteries through Amazon (They have already refunded my money for the two batteries as we thought the batteries might have been bad.)
                  When I got them in, they were not fully charged. I connected them to the UPS and waited 24 hours before connecting any networking equipment.
                  In parallel, they read 24v, but within 24 hours, the meter on the front of the unit dropped from 4 to 3 bars on the battery charge indicator.
                  Checking the voltage, it was down to 22v.
                  I quickly removed everything...

                  HP Probook 470 G4 - Power and Charging Problem
                  by Scoff
                  Looking for some help with this one if anybody can assist please? I have an HP Probook 470 G4 Laptop which recently started to intermittently failing to turn on, with intermittent white LED light(charging LED) by the charging port when it should have been charging and showing an orange LED instead. Definitely some sort of gradual failure. Now the laptop fails to power on at all, no charging LED, no Power Button LED either - seemingly dead.
                  Stripped down to the bare motherboard. The original HP battery, when disconnected from the motherboard, is reading 0.00v - possibly some sort of protection...

                  ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
                  by flat-earther
                  The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

                  Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

                  This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
                  Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
                  If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

                  Bosch 12V and 18V chargers modification
                  by Petr0x
                  Hi, I would like to share with you small modification to your Bosch tool 12V and 18V chargers.

                  You can use it for almost all Bosch chargers what I have seen, for example part numbers GAL 18V-20, GAL 18V-40, GAL 1880, GAL 18V-160, AL 1820, AL1115CV, AL1130CV.

                  Bosch (today also other brands using the same system like Wurth, Fein) does not care if you destroy your batteries, because they can sell you new ones. So the marketing is telling you only about speed of the charging, so you will not wait for your batteries to charge too long. Me as a customer want the tools and batteries...
