When I went to go recharge it , as soon as I plugged it in, (6:00p) it told me it was already 85% charged. By 10:41 it claimed to be at 100%.
At 9:07a this morning it still claimed 100% (OL CHRG in upslog). and I started a battery test : May 24 09:07:33 himinbjorg upsd[18558]: Connection from 127.0.0.1 May 24 09:07:38 himinbjorg upsd[18558]: Instant command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] did tes t.battery.start on ellipse May 24 09:07:38 himinbjorg upsd[18558]: Client [EMAIL PROTECTED] logged out How do I know its doing anything though? Its 9:33a and I see : battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 30 battery.runtime: 01715 driver.name: mge-shut driver.parameter.lowbatt: 5 driver.parameter.offdelay: 120 driver.parameter.port: /dev/cuaa0 driver.version: 2.0.3 driver.version.internal: 0.65 outlet.0.desc: Main Outlet outlet.0.id: 1 outlet.0.switchable: 0 outlet.1.autoswitch.charge.low: 0 outlet.1.desc: PowerShare Outlet 1 outlet.1.id: 2 outlet.1.switch: 1 outlet.1.switchable: 1 output.voltage: 120 ups.delay.shutdown: -1 ups.delay.start: -1 ups.load: 2 ups.mfr: MGE UPS SYSTEMS ups.power.nominal: 1200 ups.serial: unknown ups.status: OL CHRG And there are no front panel lights. I checked UPSRW and there are no variables there that look like they indicate it.
