Hey, I bought one fully discharged and was told to plug it into the outlet to charge it for 8 hours before using it; what I did not understand is whether I need to plug it while is turned off or while is powered on 🙁 cheers, I from DR 🇩🇴
when you get it after connecting battery just plug it in if it comes on when it gets plugged in thats fine you just want it charged before adding a load to it so charge it full before connecting things to it should be fine
@@ZNsolo101 Hi again, today I've finally followed the missing steps to get the product registered; thanks for this content bro. With regards to the Hibernate step, what you meant is that with this Windows feature already set up, if PowerChute tries to shut down my workstation automatically with "preserve battery power", my workstation will partially shut down with the advatage that my back UPS will provide approximatelly 2 days of charge to the station? Guess that once the home electricty is back on, the station won't automatically remove the Hibernation but at least it will have the station powered on in a few seconds (for those who only have HDD this is very convenient; I have an old 1TB Black Label WD & I witness that it's an amazing Low Cost HDD which boots my W10 within approx. 20-30 seconds, and I have a 2012 MSI board)
Would like to see which port in my pc I’m supposed to plug it into but cool I guess. Also why do I have to charge it for 8 hours. Does it break something if I don’t?
@@ZNsolo101 I know they fit but they’re color coded and because I’m new to pc I’d like to not break my $3,600 pc. With how complicated pc can be I’m not sure why it would be strange to ask questions even as simple as that. My bad, I’ll just wing it next time rather than asking professionals.😐
@Jordan Dare that's understandable. I feel like it's obvious because I work with it every day, I would never have thought to show the process of plugin it into the PC I do forget sometimes that some are so new to pc my apologies for my first response. Even tho it is color coded the apc can plug into any of the USB it's compatible with USB 1 USB 2 and USB 3 spec and we'll work over all 3 just fine but the preferred would be a USB 2 connection or blue by color the color code does not always match motherboard do there own thing and sometimes make them all blue or other colors not matching spec just something to note it well still work fine in any USB it only uses the data channels not the power so USB 3 is nice but not require and personal preference is one of the back USB would be best imo I hope thos better answers your question I was not sure how to answer most devices are safe to plug into any USB gen 1 or 2
And no thank you I appreciate you I never thought that was info someone would need. So I typed it out in the description instead of just having the link to it so no one else has an issue finding that info so thank you your comment well help others ❤️🔥
you charge it for how ever long it takes to fully charge or refer to the manual for more details on that model it may differ from this one. this one asked to plug in and fully charge not a set time but an amount the time well differ per unit an amount it should be charged is full is recommended but not necessary

this is a tricky answers it really depends on what you want it does not hurt it to turn it off when not using it but it should still leave it plugged in to keep the battery charged if your looking to save a bit of power its a good option there designed operate 24/7 to prevent data loss in a power outage so always plugged in and always on is how it would be expected to run. in simple terms its a large power bar with battery's they have an off button but you only use it to save power witch its ok. but please read manual for storing it for long periods of time or contact support for that info as im not sure storing it fully charged its good for it over long periods of time
@ictr3ma255 how could it work if it's not connected? How would it know the powers out of it? It can't talk to the pc to tell it to shut down, so no, the software won't shut it down or have any info from it if its not connected if the battery doesn't tell it to shut down then it won't.
@Inscryption in the software it might not show it at a 100% when it is in use as it not good to keep it at 100% for any battery so it would make since that it would turn on and off for the charging to stop it from over charging the software might show it more accurate then the read out on the device if it is dropping more and more might be time to check battery or replace
Absolutely, does it really worth installing it? I mean, Windows can turn off my computer only using the embeded power management. Is this software required to do not loose the warranty?
Thank you SO much! This was spot on and *exactly what I was looking for. You saved me from waiting on hold for 40 minutes!! :D
That's nice. The instructions say absolutely nothing about charging it before setting it up.
You have to register within 10 days for their damage coverage warranty to be in effect.
@zx2kain this is the same as anything you buy with warranty need to fill out that info in a set time that is very normal
Thank you! Great informative video!
great video but i need to know how to Configure APC UPS to shut down multiple PCs
You get a unit that's made for more then one pc this one is not and will not handle 2 pc at full load for the 5 minute spec so the answer is you dont
Can yo udo this for the new software? APC PowerChute™ Serial Shutdown
if the video doesn't show it then i dont know contact support for questions related to your model

@@Fadedshadows I well keep in mind to show these things in the future I appreciate your comment
What's the model of your UPS
It shows on the front of the device in the video
If you can't find it in the video then look in the description there's literally a link right to it
@@ZNsolo101 Ok, I found it, thanks 🙏
And no thank you I appreciate you I never thought that was info someone would need. So I typed it out in the description instead of just having the link to it so no one else has an issue finding that info so thank you your comment well help others ❤️🔥
@@ZNsolo101 🙏❤
What do I do if when entering the model number nothing shows up? It has a serial cable port and a usb port so I assume it is suppose to be manageable?
contact support
Do u need to leave it on or off to charge it?
dont matter check user manual if not sure i think it be fine but depends on what the manual suggest
How long do we need to charge the UPS before its first use? Is 8 hrs enough? My UPS is APC BR1600SI
you charge it for how ever long it takes to fully charge or refer to the manual for more details on that model it may differ from this one. this one asked to plug in and fully charge not a set time but an amount the time well differ per unit an amount it should be charged is full is recommended but not necessary
@@ZNsolo101 do you switch on/off your UPS in your daily use?
@@freddyhutapea7246 no I do not why would I do something like that on a self testing unit
What are these used for? I don’t know what they are for.

When I turn off my PC, what is better? leave the Apc on or off (always connected) thank you!!! I haven't found answers

software options wont work if its not connected to pc with USB?

Can you use this without installing software?
who said you even needed the software
your flashlight dont need software for it to work does it and nether does your car battery its a big battery works when plugged in or not plugged in
if you dont use the software it is just features your not using the battery will still hold power and keep things on when power goes out
I have a doubt, why does my battery never reach 100% charge? is always in 97% and now 96% while is connected
10:55 and as I can see you didn't get 100%
@Inscryption in the software it might not show it at a 100% when it is in use as it not good to keep it at 100% for any battery so it would make since that it would turn on and off for the charging to stop it from over charging the software might show it more accurate then the read out on the device if it is dropping more and more might be time to check battery or replace
@@Inscryption should contact support just to be sure it's not anything wrong with it
@@ZNsolo101 OHHH THAT make sense
I removed those stickers on the battery, I feel so stupid now ...
The software is quite crappy actually. Only good thing is the power usage meter.
