  • Re: CyberPower 1350AVR and 1500AVR - Repair

    Thank you for the opportunity to document this endeavor here on the forum. I learned a lot.

    Here is a quickie overview of the NUT servers running and display using Home Assistant.

    Most power consuming devices on the rack today are Russound distributed audio amplifiers and the XigmaNAS box #4 (8 SAS drives using a Xeon motherboard).

    @Shinjinkun

    Very nice soldering on your board.

    Have you tested the UPS yet?

    I let the Cyberpower 1350 discharge to around 60% (after 5 hours) and plugged it back in to an outlet. A few hours later it was at 100% charged.

    Thanks again to the forum users for providing much needed info on repairing the Cyberpower 1500 UPS.Re: CyberPower 1350AVR and 1500AVR - Repair

    Just a quickie note between NUT values on the older Cyberpower 1500 and new Cyberpower 1500.

    NUT Values

    Battery Voltage

    Old Cyberpower Battery Voltage 13.7 V indicates voltage per battery

    New Cyberpower Battery Voltage 27.2 V indicates total battery voltage of two batteries.

    Output Voltage

    Old Cyberpower output voltage ~ 120 VAC

    New Cyberpower output voltage ~ 137 VAC*

    * This is a NUT issues which...

    Installed IC and caps today. Put the board back in the case and put the case together.

    Plugged it in and it showed a 72% charge. 2 hours later it was at 100%.

    The battery voltage showing is what each battery is for the older 1500 and 1350.

    Will test the Cyberpower 1350. It did charge fine with new batteries about a month ago. Most concerning was the battery voltage being 50% of what the new Cyberpower 1500's show.

    This endeavor had me making RPi Nut...

    [B]Update 10th of May, 2022[/B]

    Got my little wire clipper today.

    Clipped the top 8 IC pins with the wire clipper. Chip was burnt and brittle.

    Using a small needle nose pulled on pins as I de soldered them.

    Closes pin to capacitor did not have any solder on it and fell off.

    Using a pin to make sure that there was no solder in the holes.

    Using an exacto blade lifted the glue off in one chunk. Fell off.

    Cleaned top of board with alcohol.

    Took the board out with all of its connections intact. Brought it down to the basement workbench where I have a soldering station and heat gun.

    Using a large magnifying glass with lamp for all of the desoldering stuff. It is very old. Real glass and a fluorescent circular bulb on it. Got this in the 60's when tinkering with Amateur radio.

    Desoldered and removed two capacitors. Easy to do once I re soldered the posts.

    BTW here running NUT on BSD PFSense / XigmaNAS and built a couple of RPi2's which are NUT servers. Monitoring them with Home Assistant.

    Here is the Cyberpower 1350 which will need to be repaired. Notice the charging voltage on it.

    [ATTACH]263366[/ATTACH]

    Here is the new Cyberpower 1500. Noticed the difference in the charging voltage.

    I have yet to move the Cyberpower 1500 to the work bench. Looks easy to de solder the caps and IC. Looks difficult...

    I took apart the Cyberpower 1500C / AVR. It was still working but only showing 12-13VDC charging voltage. I see issues on the main board as described in previous posts.

  • CyberPower 1350AVR and 1500AVR - Repair

    Both are older than years old now.

    Pooling info here from what I have read.

    Cyberpower 1500AVR takes 4-5 days to charge batteries after test depletion.

    Made an RPi Nutserver for the rack and using PFSense for the telco area with an APC.

    Using Nutserver with Home Assistant.

    Last week ordered

    33uF 200v Rubycon Electrolytic Radial Lead Capacitors
    22UF 50V Electrolytic Radial Lead Capacitors
    VIPer22A "Original" ST 8P DIP IC 2 pcs

    Noticed that the old Cyberpower UPS's output...

    Here have Cyberpower 1 1350, 1 1500 AVR UPS's. Now two new Cyberpower 1500's/

    Made an RPi Nutserver for the rack and using PFSense for the telco area with an APC.

    Using Nutserver with Home Assistant..

    Noticed that the old Cyberpower UPS's output ~12-14VDC to the two batteries.

    The new Cyberpower 1500's output ~ 27VDC to the two batteries.

    I have ordered replacement caps and chip for the older 1500 and 1350 UPS.

    Both the 1500 and 1350 have new batteries.
