    APC Su3000inet charging problem

    Hello everyone!
    I just bought APC Ups3000inet which is not charging batteries. Ups was delivered without batteries so I just bought 4x12v 17aH connected them in series 2x24v and..... Nothing.
    So I look inside and begin to check resistors and caps.
    Of course R38 and R43 was fried but still managed to be 0.500k ohm so I have replaced them for 1k which is in schematic and all caps besides AC ones 1500uf/75v X3.
    When Ups have connected batteries and I plug it into AC it falls in some kind of bootloop I can hear relays clicking and nothing happens I have to click shutdown and then power at front panel and then Ups is turning on reporting 1 bar of battery charge and is not charging of course when it's plugged into AC and working I can power on a heater through UPS and it's working fine. Just not on batteries. When I disconnect AC Ups dies immediately.
    I have connected UPS to hyperterminal and have managed to change battery replace date and check battery charge voltage and ups is reporting 27.07v and reports battery voltage 0.000
    Shouldn't be battery charge voltage 55v for 2x24v ?
    I I'm sure person before me wasn't doing anything in hyperterminal or in eeprom.
    After spending two days I did factory reset through hyperterminal. Of course nothing besides battery charge voltage didn't change. Now it's 12.9v...
    I have checked every single solder path to be sure I didn't destroy anything when replacing caps but everything is still the same before and after replacing caps and resistors.
    Battery connectors checked
    When I hold TEST button it reports 3 bars on battery charge after button release 1 bar and blinking
    Battery voltage 26.50v x2
    Voltage from batteries is going fine to MB and read 52v
    Any suggestion would be very helpful

    Okey problem solved. I have changed battery charge voltage in eeprom to 55.1v and everything works fine now

      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
      by Bowline
      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

      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...

      Razor Blade Steath 13" RZ09-01963 plugged in Not Charging (new battery)
      by Shinju
      Hey All!

      Long time forum member here with a problematic laptop issue!

      I got a RZ09-0196 with a bloated battery (still worked and charged fine) I pulled the old cell pack out and installed a new cell pack in its place.

      The laptop would not power on with the new battery installed without the power supply being plugged in.

      When booting into Win10 (all up to date BTW) I saw the battery icon with 49% plugged in not charging.

      TL;Dr version, old battery worked, charged but was bloated, installed a new non OEM replacement, laptop/windows...

      HP ProBook 445 G8 Battery not charging
      by Julian Bailey
      Hi all

      We have in a HP ProBook 445 G8 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 CPU. When power is connected the power LED light blinks 5 times then stops. Normally HP laptops will blink this LED 10 times as it does a self test when the AC adaptor is inserted. So there must be some sort of short somewhere.

      The battery doesn't charge, and is erratic on the MM voltage. Bench PSU LED pulsates when the battery is connected also. So the fault must be on the charging circuit?

      I have gone around the board with a MM and cant find anything

      Windows shows the battery fine,...
