Fellowes 425AP wont power up

Found this solution in another section - suspect this is likely the problem. I did notice that my battery is dead. It is not very old, so I am going to try to re-charge it with an auto battery charger.

The battery(s) have lost charge you need to replace it or re-charge it.
this occurs alot in older UPS's, the batteries eventualy loose charge and if you switch your ups off or store it away for awhile it wont turn back on again that is because the battery power is used to fire a relay to boot up the UPS. You need to find were the battery(s) compartment is located more than likely if it is a small standing unit the battery(s) compartment should be located on the underside of the unit there should be a plate and a screw...remove the screw and plate...remove the battery or batteries, disconnect the Black and Red Terminals and take note of the voltage and the Amp hours, most small ups's have 1x 12V at 12Ah you need to either attempt to charge the battery(s) using a 12V battery charger or take it to a electronics store to get a replacement..if it is a fairly old battery or batteries i would suggest getting it replaced as the old battery(s) may hold enough charge to boot the unit but when the power goes out it will not support the output load!. if the ups is a rack mount unit you need to remove the front panel and underneath there is a tray with a small handle and four screws undo and pull it out and it will reveal 6 batteries linked up and stuck down the the tray...then using a screwdriver wedge off the batteries from the plate now remeber to take down the way they are connected as some are connected in series.The you need to either go and order some new ones or recharge the batteries!
hope this helps,ben
