Hello community, this morning I plugged again my APC Back-UPS 650 after two days of inactivity; it rapidly spread some heavy and very disturbing sulphur smell. It stills (after 1 hour) emanate this horrible thing after I unplugged and tried to push the power off button. The "On battery" LED keeps an orange state even after I unplugged everything. I put the thing outside on my balcony, but I don't know what to do with it; is it going to stink for eternity? :D And, is there any risk in this situation? In advance thanks for any advice. Clement E.
The smell is sulphuric acid boiling in the battery in the unit. It is getting more the the required 14 volts ( probably full line voltage) so I would junk it as it will cost more than it is worth to repair. Do not use it and any fluid that is coming out will be highly corrosive so be carefull

Try looking for a small circuit breaker on the side that says "press to reset" - you could have tripped it accidentally when you unplugged the iPod. Also, try pressing and holding the UPS power switch for 10-15 seconds. That should force a power on as well.

Check the relay Circuit. the relay switch must be faulty

Sound like you may have a problem with the new battery.
Check the water level on the new battery.
Check all your connection and if you are still having the same problem, Try removing the existing battery and jump of your car battery.
You can do this without the computer on line and will tell you if your existing battery is at fault.
P.S. You must disconnect the existing battery to do this test.
Good luck.
I have used Tractor battery's from H/D, cost about $24.00 and will do as good a job. Only problem is the size.

It certainly indictes a problem with the APC unit a replacement bettry may or may not solve the problem. Do you really need one as you have an anti surge protector?
