    Sorry, I know this video is 6 years old, but what fitness tracker are you wearing. Was that the original Fitbit charge?

      No worries. I still remember. It was the Original Fitbit Alta.

    they good ok but i would stay buy inverter 2000 watts $209.00 plus 2 lithium battery 12volt 100 amp 3000 life cycles deep clcle rechargeable battery $950.00 you get much better job done ok buy charger to battery so you spend $2.000 dollars

    The RJ45 on the back is NOT Ethernet. It's RS232 and APC sells a special cable to connect it to your PC's serial port. The replacement battery needs to fit so check the dimensions of the one you replace it with. It needs to be 12vdc. It should have at least 7 Ah, but that number can be bigger, and a 9 will give you a longer run time. (7Ah is the capacity. It means it will supply 7 amps for one hour, or less amps for longer.)

    Hi there and thanks for you tutorial! Can you tell me the background, why the UPS have to be charged up to 100% before adding any items to it? Can I use the Self- or Calibration-Test before 100%? Thanks to you!

    • @forgedturbo
      @forgedturbo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can use it, no problem. But I don't think the UPS would allow you to do any of these tests. The Calibration Test is meant to re-estimate the runtime of the UPS on battery, and I think the test won't be too accurate if you start at very low battery.

    Power Kingdom PS7-12 datasheet does not mention this battery as high rate or high discharge current which are suited for UPSs. I would avoid this battery for UPS application. Next time choose Panasonic 9Ah UP-PW1245 or CSB HRL1234W or Yuasa ...

    7:25 non-genuine generic batteries my ass. APC does not manufacture batteries. CSB , Panasonic , Yuasa and others do. APC just buys it from them , or is made for them according to a spec, and resell with nice margin. So there goes the APC genuine sticker and price tag. In fact , I would say, the client is just buying the warranty (free this , free that services = not really free) which is calculated into the price of the batteries ,because use of non-apc batt voids the warranty and all that insurance crap. Mostly batteries outlive the standard 1-2y warranty of the unit so ... after that ... you know the drill. Of course in some cases genuine batteries makes sense. Overall costs in the long run might be lower than DIY. Depends... www.apc.com/sy/en/support/product-support/when-to-replace-your-battery-or-ups.jsp

      I believe it is passively cooled. At least for the 750 VA model. Not sure if you go up to something at multiple thousands VA.

      @@forgedturbo Hello, and thanks for your reply. You are correct. All models under 1400VA are passively cooled according to the info I was able to find. So, I went with a SMT1500IC after discovering this. Thanks again.

    Thanks for the review. Is this UPS safe in general? How long have you been using it? Does it get recognized by Windows automatically as USB battery? If it is, it should showing a battery icon in the taskbar notification area and be accessible through Additional Power Settings so users can adjust shutdown / hibernate settings to become effective when battery discharges to, let's say, 5 minutes of time left. I've seen some complaints about SMT UPSes that they can get very hot and bulge the battery before they report: "Oops (pun intended), the UPS battery is dead". Also, have seen some complaints that APC has messed something up with the plug sockets and they can get loose soon, but that's mostly for Europe targeted APC UPS models.

    • @tonyzhu403
      @tonyzhu403 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the Comment. Mine is quite safe so far, no fire, no explosion. I trust the APC Brand, as they are one of largest in the UPS business. I have been using it since I rebuilt it in the video, so it has been a bit over a year so far, which for an UPS is not a long time, but this unit is quite a bit old than 1 year old. For Windows 10, Yes. Plug in the USB, it recognized it as a Battery with no setup required. Don't need the APC Software. Windows looks just like a battery on a laptop. I don't think you can set it to do certain tasks when there is 5 minutes left, and I would recommend against it, since the minute reading may not be correct at all time, it is Lead Acid Batteries after all. You can set up Windows to do actions when you have some % battery left. But keep in mind, because it is Lead Acid Battery, not some Lithium-ion Battery, the estimation time remaining and battery percentage can jump around and fluctuate quite a bit. (I have seen up to 10% in jumps) I usually use it only as an inaccurate reference. My unit doesn't seem to have any issue yet. It is quite cool as well, no idea how they would get really hot. There are no fans inside, so there shouldn't be a fan malfunction. It's been a year since I started using mine, no issues so far. I haven't experienced the sockets getting loose, and I don't really plug/unplug anything frequently, so... Hope those bits of information help.

    Thanks for sharing your video, it is very helpful. Just one thing, at 23:00 minutes you say for the calibration load should be less than 30%, this is not the case according to the APC website, they recommend that the load be at least 30% of the unit capacity www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA284198/

      Usually it is advised to buy CSB or Yuasa brands (or their rebranded versions) because many other brands can be much inferior or not actually meant for UPS use (where fast discharge is required) and could bulge or catch fire or just wear out very soon (2 years instead of 3-5 of CSB, Yuasa).

      @@camelCased true , UPSes use HIGH DISCHARGE RATE batteries ... usually they cost 30€ to 60€. Best ones are Panasonic ,Yuasa , CSB. Knowing the nominal voltage and Ah capacity is not enough. High rate batteries tend to use the bigger (wider) FASTON connection , F2 if I am not mistaken.
