Hi.
I'm having an issue with my No Break. It's a SMS 1800 Bivolt Expert - Net Winner - 27429
It usually have a 15-20min autonomy time
Last week i had a energy peak that last about 30 seconds and the no break started beeping as if the battery was almost depleted yet barely 15 sec had passed. I did a test by shutting off all electricity in the house. However, the same issue didn't happen. it behave as expected and lasted a solid 13min before the rapid beeping started (meaning battery is low) Today, a got another short-lasting peak and the same as last week happened. Started okay, but seconds later the rapid beeping started. I first thought maybe the battery's getting old (about 3 years) but if it was the battery, wouldn't the same thing happen when i shut off all electricity? Yet it didn't... So i don't know.
Does anyone have any idea of why's that? Should i get a new one? Only my PC and the internet cable is connected to it. I should also mention that about a year ago there was a strong lightning strike nearby that damaged my PC. or rather, my PSU. it took all the damage and fried while all other components were fine so i also considered that maybe that lightning strike did some damage to it perhaps?
