Check out the link below. He claims that the PCB schematic for the 1400XL appears to be the same as the 2200 because he owned one. It's worth the explore. I have attached the schematic for the 1400 XL that when you go to the site, you can click on and enlarge then download http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/power/dumbups/

I believe this could be a firmware bug. These units were shipped with a notice to upgrade the firmware on the UPS before putting it into production - have you done that yet? Either way, your local technical support team can help you identify the current firmware version and assist with upgrade instructions to hopefully remedy the problem. They would also guide you to a resolution if a firmware upgrade has already been performed

The battery charger of the UPS is broken or the battery fuse broken or defective batteries

The button can be locked...

why don't you replace the battery

Hi Can you provide more info about this one?

If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Google the batteries, and put something like "Available in Canada". Many US stores have Canadian versions on line.

For starters, have you tried APC website? Plenty of manuals there man. Check it: http://www.apc.com/search-apc/ww/en/relevance/10_1/Product%20Information;;7B0CB5EA-CEC6-4E31-B9A6-51E4DCFADB54/all?search_text=APC%201400%20pro.%20Smart%20Rack%20mount%20120%20v.%202000%2F3000%20MR%20U3&search_type=new&filters=

Check Batteries, replace

It is the maximum power the UPS can safely supply when on battery power. You should note the closer to Max power the shorter the UPS will be able to supply power. Time/power are inverse. i.e. as more power is drawn from the batteries, the shorter the time it will be able to supply power.

Order from Amazon.com.

1st u send me how u on ur ups

Lithium Ion batteries are lighter in weight and last longer but are way more expensive.

A good PC power supply has "power factor correction" and brings the power factor to nearly 1.0. A 1000VA UPS can support 900V or more load. A cheaper PC power supply without "power factor correction" will draw more current. A 1000VA UPS can only support about 600W load.

If Line voltage normal and your is a smart UPS, you may need to change the "nominal voltage" and high and low limits settings correctly using Powerchute +.

Depends on load. If 100% load probably only 15 minutes.

Depends on size of UPS. Lower is better as PC will have more time on battery to fully shut down. If load is more than 50%, perhaps connect the monitor to the wall socket directly.

Try replace the Battery first. If still bad UPS must be replaced.

Check the connection wires to the battery - are they loose? Use a car headlamp check whether your battery can light it up. Usually UPS battery goes bad after a couple of years.
