dear, This problam is related to battery and i am sure your battery is faulty pls replace it.

SOURCE: ONLY 2 MINUTES MAX OF BATTERY BACK-UP TIME BEFORE EVERYTHING SHUT

you can program your power bottom to hibernate, and connect the screen direct without the UPS, so you get more time...then when the electricity goes off, without seeing the screen just push the power bottom to hibernate.

Hi

After 3 years, i would by a new UPS...

The battery will have to be changed if you want to keep the old one.

What i've seen mostly here in south africa. When the battery life has ended they customer opens the ups and takes out the battery and then connects a car battery to the terminals. The then close the ups and let the car battery stand outside the ups.

Hope this info helps...

If you blistered your older batteries a good chance your inverter is going or will go bad. The heat alone can do damage to your components. Time to replace the unit and remember next time not to wait so long to replace your batteries. Replacement of batteries every three to approaching four years is a good idea.
