How the fuck do I check the battery in my UPS beyond "works"
Some have self tests options. If you have a small one, just unplug it and see if the battery holds at all. If it's dead it will die really quick.
I haven’t used a UPS in like 25 years. Don’t they have battery life indicators now? If not, that seems pretty useless.
Some have an app you can install on your pc that tells you.
Yup! I got some cyberpower ones from costco. Wrote a script to test and send me the results first saturday of each month. If it fails, there goes my saturday lol.
Sometimes they get into a state that requires a hard reset. Happened to me a few times and was losing power during brownouts. Learned to test regularly after that.
