How to turn off Compaq R1500 UPS System?

check if the battery is still working

No you cant. some times the battery it's self opens up internally. They do go bad after a few years. 3 years is about average

I upload the manual of HP UPS R1500 Generation 2 in this address of FixYa: http://www.fixya.com/support/p328487-hp_r1500_xr_204404b31_ups_system I hope this will be available in the next 24 hours. Thank you for using FixYa.com

Go to the official website of the hardware manufacturer and look for the drivers. These drivers are generally free of cost.

hi

If it is showing the red light and continuous beep it shows that the battery is completely gone.

You can buy a battery and replace it by yourself.

Or get it to a professional to change the battery.

you need not replace the whole UPS its just a battery problem.

Thank you

There are several versions of this UPS.

Go to the followint page:

Once there, select your exact model and then pick the "manuals" link on that page.

sol 1. check whether the ups is charging or not.

sol2. check the battery

There are several reasons for a buldged battery.

Mainly - older batteries do that. These batteries are meant to be replaced every so often. The r1500 is an older model, and therefore if those are the original batteries, it's probably normal.

My unit the battery is about to die also, I will be replacing it soon :-).

If it is the single light to the left of the batery symbol it means "Potential Battery Failure". I have a pdf of the manual that I found at a different forum site. I am not sure how to post an attachment here. E-mail me and I will send it to you.

According to the manual I have, that is a site wiring fault. It means that there is no ground on your AC line coming into the unit.
If you e-mail me, I will send you the pdf of the manual.
