Hi guys.. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this UPS as mine stopped working all of a sudden and just emits a solid audible tone when turned on.
I think it is probably the battery.. but for it to just work fine and then not within a day seems strange.. so before I buy a new battery, are there any tests I can do on the UPS itself to see whether anything else is the cause?
Also, where do you guys generally buy your replacement UPS batteries? I have read somewhere that a normal motorcycle battery will do the trick, and the branded APC ones are just a rip off. Is this true?
Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, I figured it would better fit in with PSU's rather than just "General Electrical"
