Solution
Without any GC the PC load is very low,so it's the battery which is faulty. You should call APC to arrange a battery replacement. It's very easy task.

Hi
Are you saying that the UPS is brand new ?
If so then you need to be aware that APC ship their UPS units with the batteries disconnected and you need to remove the battery cover and connect the batteries before you use them.
