Don't see a "UPS" forum so hopefully I can get some help here.
Bought one last night, plugged it in and charged it overnight. This morning I installed the monitoring software and battery level is around 70%, so I'm thinking ok a little fluctuation is ok. Then I try a power failure test as recommended and immediately the battery charge drops to 17% or so and the thing dies even before it can do its software recovery function and soft power itself down.
Anyone have one of these or anything like it? Is it possible I charged it incorrectly? Directions said to plug it in for at least 4 hours without any devices plugged into it so thats what I did.
Thanks.
