The UPS unit, fairly common I suspect, is a Back-UPS E= S 350 and less than a year old. It only saw service once last year during a= n electric storm when the house power failed for a few minutes. Why isn't i= t charging. Or is it? It says BATTDATE 2000-00-00. Huh? > > I'd like to test it further but the apcupsd manual recommends at least 5m= ins time left. If I just unplug it from the back of the PC, will it charge?= Is the battery caput? > > Maxim Unplug all your electronic devices and plug in a lamp with a 100 Watt incandescent light build. With the lamp on unplug the UPS from the wall and see what happens. If the battery is dead it won't last all that long. I've had batteries last for 5 years, and I've had others die after 1-2 years. 2000-00-00 obviously isn't real. That's a software glitch. - Mark
