If you're going to power a pellet stove with this, make sure the stove doesn't use an induction motor for the exhaust fan, or that the UPS outputs an actual sine-wave and not a setp-sine waveform! Induction motors cannot run on step-sine waveform! Unfortunately those kind of stoves almost always use induction motors and this type of UPS does output step-sine waveform (I got he same). So if everything ran well with no problems, I would be very surprised. (I hope it did though!)

Very informative instructions for beginners for APC. My question is I have NEXXTECH ULTIMATE 600 w 1000 VA uninterruptible power supply. On the back there is in the middle indicator light for wiring fault.. which is on. When I first turned it on it was beeping turning on and off but as I kept it plugged in it has now stopped. My display shows 100% battery capacity the output 60.0 Hz, output is 0.000 kw, low capacity has a little icon on the left but showing nothing and then in the middle of the screen it has an icon normal output 0% estimated runtime 100 minutes input 125V. Does this seem in good working order? I noticed your load capacity has a scale I can see that mine does have the scale for the amount but it is empty is this worth saving? And can I get the software for this too? I'm also unsure how you would replace the batteries? Been searching for a manual guide for the system as well Been unsuccessful! Thank you so much for your video and your time, looking forward to your response.

I do have a few things plugged in and I just bought it about 10 hours ago. So is it not fully charged even though the indicator on screen says it is? I have the BX1300G.

Interesting display, but there are more than just 2 battery outlets, it is the entire left row, the top two on left and the grey ones on the right use a power command feature so that when the pc, which should be getting its power from the master plug, is no longer drawing current above a programmed setting, the other grey plugs turn off. But the are 4 battery outlets and 4 surge only outlets.

Hello, Appreciate your guidance! First of all, my amateur "clean" power knowledge preceded a recent choice in selecting a UPS and was a purchase made under urgency given the random NE weather. This UPS unit is an Sinewave UPS 850VA 510W PFC setup as back up power for a 650w PSU home office (PC tower power). My ridiculous Q; Could you help clarify the "Greenpower" technology passing power through a Transformer and express how to bypass the constant battery load demand on incoming utility power? Or is it just the inverter which demands a power hungry mode? Translated: Can a UPS be regulated to operate without demanding constant energy? My aim as it would be for anyone, is to maintain affordable energy costs yet have backup power on demand. Perhaps power up the unit in real time when weather conditions become unstable? If my question(s) require further clarity, and it is certain that they will, please advise. Many Thanks!

Hey! Good video. I subbed. Quick question. What if I were to plug a power strip on the backup battery outlet on the unit? For example, I plug in a power strip that is feeding a monitor, desktop computer, and a powered external hard drive, into the battery feed outlet. Would it still keep powering flowing to all three pieces of equipment? Obviously it would probably slash the battery time significantly but at least give me time to properly shut it all down? Thanks!

Which is the best practice for the UPS after the connected computer is shut down? 1) Turn off the UPS but let the UPS still plugged to main outlet (keep charging the battery) 2) Turn off the UPS and also disconnect it from main outlet (the battery would discharge slowly in this state) 3) Let the UPS keep turned on.

I like the external battery approach. A UPS daisy chain should work in theory, since if you unplug the chain from AC, the first UPS in the chain will start providing AC power to the next in line, until it's battery fails. Then the next UPS in line kicks in until your down to the last UPS which your PC or whatever is plugged into, which will continue until its battery is finished. Talk about a Rube Goldberg though. :)

I thought so too ... before I tried it. It didn't work. Because as it seems UPSes cannot run off of step-sine waveform. And the problem is that almost all affordable UPSes do output step-sine waveform (Line-interactive and Offline types). The secondary UPSes detect this as "dirty power" and start drawing power from the battery even though power is applied by the other UPS. So as the mains power cuts off, all of the UPSes on the chain will switch to battery power. (I've tried that personally) In order for this to work, you have to either use really cheap UPSes that don't have the "dirty power" detection circuitry, or some expensive UPSes that do output an actual sine-wave waveform. Those do exist. They are called On-line UPSes. Almost all On-line UPSes do output true sine-wave (No, it's actually all of them, it's integral part of their functionality). The last UPS on the chain can be form the normal type that outputs step-sine (Line-interactive, or Offline, the later are of the cheap type)

Hi Guru, the estimate runtime was at 111 minutes and when you unpluged it it chute very fast at ninety something. If you let it go it will ran out of juice in less than 5 to ten minutes. It happend to me with my 1300. I had replacement at costco and had the same probleme. Try to let it go without repluging and tell me if it is normal. I think that if it estimate 111 minutes it should last at least 2 hours our an hour and a half.
