On an unrelated to clock-mouse item, last night around 2300 my APC BX1000 started beeping. Inspection showed the display indicating battery failure and zero runtime.
I replaced it with a back-up unit with 350 VA less capacity to get the annoying beeping to quit. I popped the battery out of the BX1000, popped it back in and fired it up. It started, went through its self check, and then indicated that the battery was about 25% charged (based on the ‘bar’ on the display.) I shut it off and left it plugged in to charge.
I’ll revisit it eventually to see how it feels about itself.. ;-)
(IIRC Darksheare had a similar happening with his and doing what I did gets it to shut up and function for a while longer, but a battery replacement is looming. Buys me time to get one. Which is actually two. Unless you buy it from APC, then it’s one.. ;-)
I did finally get a 28" monitor to attach to it. That thing is HUGH. And the standard resolution font is tiny. But it's fun.
