    oh hell yeah, the calibrations been out for a long time, I never clicked onto this being a no charge fault until last week and means it has been fubar on the voltage readings for a couple of years, I loaded it to 30% as per the suggestions by APC forum staff, kept the load stable and did a test, it would drop from 6:21 (stock no load with new battery time) to under an hour and each time I tried it the time would get lower until it just failed every attempt.

    New ups in, 30% load, calibration ran for over 90 minutes then came back with 6:15 mins.

            I don't know if those testers are good or not. One is a kit version.

                I found a thread about them on here so I think I am on the right path

                    I had to look for this thread again and revive it.

                    Soooo... it happens to be that my APC-2200i which is identical to this one, done the same thing and took a dump. Mine is now on its third set of batteries, in which I put new batteries in about 5 months ago. The last week I noticed that my battery percentage kept falling and falling.
                    Hmm... maybe time for a cleaning and see whats going on. I found 3 bad caps. Two 16V 47uF and one 50V 22uF. They were not swollen or leaking, but had a highish ESR of around 2 Ohm. One cap is C610 located on the main board, the other 2 are on the daughter board under the fan at the rear of the unit. Changed them out, put the darn thing back together and everything is working so far like a charm again. Sorry no pics this time around. Post #7, pic #6 has C610 showing. The little daughter board doesn't have that many caps on it so you should find it o.k. if the need arises.

                        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...

                        Where do repair shops buy MB replacement batteries?
                        by howardc64
                        Order my parts from mobilesentrix.com and iPhone batteries have been excellent. Recently got 3x bad A1534 (2015) batteries. All would work until ~30-40+% and drop to < 10% instantly. Typical sign of cheap batteries.

                        Perhaps the less popular A1534 model's aftermarket batteries are more source limited. Just find it surprising quality from mobilesentrix (usually fairly high quality aftermarket parts) have been so poor.

                        BTW, this isn't the only defective parts I've had from mobilesentrix. Amongst others including iPad Air touch screen and A1989 touch bar (display was...

                        Fixing the Charge Circuit of the Batteries of the DC Motor
                        by Astonished
                        Hi friends of electronics

                        What you see in the video and pictures attached is the circuit for charging the batteries of a DC motor.

                        The problem is that this circuit cannot charge the batteries (3 1800mAH NiMH batteries) any more. When the circuit was OK, its green LEDs lit up one at a time to show that the batteries have charged more. But now that the circuit is flawed, LEDs light up as you see in the video and at the same time successive beeps are heard.

                        Please help me fix this circuit.

                        (the datasheet of the IC: https://pdf.datasheet.live/28...

                        UPS ruins batteries every three months
                        by davidebaldini
                        Problem description:

                        My UPS requires new batteries every ~3 months; in this time frame, an average of about 5 to 10 power flickers or short power interruptions (< 2 minutes) occur. After an average of 3 months, a new pair of batteries begins to fail to keep the UPS up during any flicker or power interruption. The load it powers is a single computer/workstation running 24/7 with a continuous consumption between 200W to 300W.

                        UPS model:
                        The Atlantis 1001 is a non-inexpensive (~120€ back then) home/office offline UPS, rated 1000VA, 600W, designed for two 7Ah...

                        Here is a good used source for 18650 batteries
                        by sam_sam_sam
                        Here is a website I have ordered from before and the results that they claim are correct from what I have seen from the batteries I have bought from them

                        BatteryHookUp.com

                        https://batteryhookup.com/collection...odem-batteries

                        I have test about 5 battery packs ( out of 15 battery packs I bought) and have had very good results and so far have not found any bad cells

                        I have also bought these battery packs before on EBay and they are a good source for a battery case that holds 18650 batteries however...
