Pete, we use APC UPSs all over the station. We have found they will run warm when on battery power. If they feel hot I would suggest you pull the battery and check for blistering. We have found the UPS will pass the self test and have a battery that has melted the plastic battery housing to the point they have blistered.

The battery is quite hot, like a cheap notebook. However, the "Replace Battery" light is not on. Is the whole APC shot, or just the battery? "Back-UPS CS 3 5 0" is on the front of it. Not a lot of info on the apc website http://www.apc.com/support/ -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/7c5bd7df6e834e52a7c06ec505baf...@engineeringm ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
