Can you elaborate what's not working?

On a headless pc, look at the bios for instance ?? Don't think that would work.

Seriously ? Have we gotten so fat that we can't reach the on off button anymore. This has got to be the dumbest item of the year. And tomshardware covers it... wtf

This isn't 5K, ASUS doesn't call it 5K . 1440 vertical resolution isn't anywhere near 5K. ( 5120 x 2880 )

This EXACTLY ! This is a UPS issue !

I replaced mine with the same. Amazon had a very reasonable price. There's even non-Cybe3rpower brand replacements for even cheaper.

People should NOT expect them to last but we do need to blame the UPS for not reporting a degrading battery. IT does show the charge of the battery. Mine stayed right at 50%, even after several days of charging. THAT part should be reported by the UPS with alarms.

I think the monitoring is fine. It's the reporting of it that is lacking. I had this exact issue and front panel kept showing 50% charge and never increasing while it tried to charge. And that's it. no reporting of the issue and it kept trying to charge for days and days. I changed battery just...

This issue happens when the battery doesn't even get to 100% charge. I just had this issue and replaced the batteries. It wasn't even close to 12V. Front panels showed 50% charge, even after sitting with power for several days. Never went higher.

Correct, they are lead acid, sealed. I just replaced a set. The circuitry should be in the ups itself. Most of it is already there. Cyberpower just didn't implement the last part of detecting if it actually charges to 100% within a certain amount of time.

"it will just"...... It does that because that's how it is programmed in the models in question here. The ups DOES detect that the battery isn't charged to 100%, it shows on the front panel. All it needs to have is a time out that detects when a battery not getting charged to 100% within x...

Yes, the core issue here seems to be the UPS doesn't detect a faulty battery. That's a big error by Cyberpower. These should be recalled. In the mean time, keep an eye on the battery quality. As soon as battery doesn't charge to 100% anymore it should be replaced (battery). Yes, the core issue...

How interesting. I JUST changed the battery on this model 2 days ago. I had a power outage a couple weeks ago and it failed to keep powering my SAN. Checked the battery charge in my san's software and it showed the battery (of the ups) was only 50% full. Manually tested it by pulling the power...
