Straightforward, simple, and ecologic, because if you follow the official instructions, you'd just throw it away and buy a new backup system. Thank you!
Thank you ! The info was great, and you saved me a fair bit of cash - replacement batteries from the original vendor were going for $200+ AUD. A generic replacement was around $30. Cheers.
It says the battery is not user replaceable - opposed to service pro replaceable - because it does not have an accessible batter bay like other APCs, presumably as a cost saving measure. It does not say to throw the UPS away ;) Anyway, bad things happen if you allow the average Amazon shopper to open up anything... so it seems like sensible advice. I am slightly disappointed by that, as I have owned various APCs for over 20 years and would have chosen a different model, if I had been aware of this design flaw. Also, am I a bit dumb, or is the APC website the most backwards database? I could not find the manual for this model anymore, luckily later found it on a backup still. Someone in the Amazon comments also complains that the software is not available anymore, I have not verified that. On a side note, flip your phone around, I am missing 70% of my screen real estate. EDIT I spoke too soon... I had seen a different video on this already, which required a full disassembly of the unit - it seems there had been a design change... it will be a surprise for me to see which one I have when my battery arrives later today :)
Only if you consider that 2 (non-security) screws make it inaccessible - lots of equipment has user service panels retained by screws. I didn't say the manual stated to throw it away, but that some users had come to that conclusion. Yeah, I wish I'd made a better video too, but it has the necessary info and it's free...
@@DakarFourByFour I thought this was a video I had previous seen already... there is a dude who starts out by removing 4 screws, then pries off the front plate with a fuck off big screw driver etc I think they have redesigned this somewhere down the line, and hence maybe an older revision of the owner's manual says that it is not user replaceable? Really weird... I will look for that video to see what is going on, maybe he just went berserk backwards on this thing? I do not remember these units being peddled as not user serviceable... seems like economic suicide to me...

@@DakarFourByFour I just got it... mine is like yours, only 2 screws. Do you have the shutdown software?
@@Baerchenization I've never used Powerchute with this UPS as it's connected to my NAS which can communicate with it natively.
Mine shuts down when the electricity goes out even after I tested it the the problem persists
