#apc

I'm finally sorting through my old #APC #UPS collection, but they need a working battery to even power on. So I want to buy one "known good" battery: should I get an APC branded RBC17 from Amazon ( linked from the Schneider Electrical website, who have the APC brand ) but, you know, Amazon can send you random things; or buy an unbranded but compatible "CS3" from CPC Farnell for the same price, or just get a much cheaper Duracell or Yuasa or UPlus from Amazon anyway? #selfhosted #selfhosting

Some some advice from folks how about #APC #USP. I got a old #BX700U. When connecting power nothing happens, no LED no beeps. When pushing the front button regardlessly if long or short also nothing happens. I've opened it and I'm measurung 0.52 V at the battery pins. Before ordering a replacement battery what else can I check to validate the device itself is still ok and it's just a degraded battery pack inside? Any hints welcome. #fedihelp #followerpower
