Yesterday and today one of our Smart-UPS 1400 powered off and 2 of our servers along with it. What would cause this?

    Nothing else shut off on that plug. The batteries showed 4 out of the 5 charged lights when I turned it back on.

A Best Power Fortress Systems go threw an inverter check aboutonce a month. Usually you may notice that the unit seems to charge the batteryconstantly, this is a sure sign of a week or dead battery. The unit will stillcondition the power as best it can but if the battery is bad when a poweroutage happens or the inverter test runs the unit will just die! Not goodseeing it can be restarted just by cycling the power. Older units would restartthemselves leaving you venerable for a power outage when the next inverter testis ran or when you really need it.

Maybe the UPS control board is faulty and cannot recognize a incoming power outage. Plus I have heard APC's batteries show a charge on the LED display front panel, but have no capacity to carry you connected load. APC's batteries are notorious for premature failure. My office goes with GE's UPS systems. www.GEPowerQuality.com

May be power to the UPS went off or was not within permissible limits, hence the ups run on batteries until they were completely discharged, the servers went off because they are supplied by this ups. check the power supply to this ups, somebody could be switching it off accidentally. try to sitch the inpu power to the ups to see whether the batteries are okey

How to extract batteries from an APC Smart UPS 1400

greg milton, Hi, Did you get the top cover off of the "1400" battery back-up? How old were the batteries in the unit? My APC 1250 has two 12v 18ah units inside. It's best to replace batteries every 3 to 5 years! 12fixlouie

Unit is switching to battery power for now reason.

Any UPS monitors the incoming AC level to determine if it is needed or not.  I think the APC unit doesn't know any more when it is needed; it's sick.

Apc 1400

Batteries in the UPS typically last 3 to 5 years and it depends upon several factors. including the number of times the unit must go on battery power and environmental conditions. There are usually several batteries in the UPS and while the battery voltage may show 13 volts, this may only be a float charge/voltage and a true indication of the battery voltage and condition requires the batteries to be tested under a load. There maybe one battery in a set of batteries that is faulty and causes the whole battery system to fail and indicate a battery fault.
The other possibility is the charging circuit may be faulty.

APC Smart-UPS 1400 no power

Better late than never...

The older Smart UPS models are peculiar in the way that they appear dead (will not power on) if the battery is completely bad.

Replace the battery, and the UPS should come back to life.
