To all
I am struggling to recover from a very bad power failure during a key
upgrade from my OS openSuse Leap 15.6 to Leap 16.0 upgrade.
My UPS unit completely clicked off right during the backup.
It has been several hours now and I am trying to carefully pick up all
the pieces and verify that I did NOT lose any data.
My question to all of you is simple:
How can you tell the health of the lead-acid batteries in your UPS unit?
From what I can gather, this cannot be done live via any linux operations.
My lead acid batteries were shot, and bulging out their case.
Yes I was aware that I had 5 years time on these back up lead-acid
batteries and was risking total failure, which actually occurred this
afternoon for me.
How do you keep on top of the UPS units so you don't have a rather
foolish incident like mine today?

p.s My unit was the Cyberpower CP1350AVRLCD (see
