APC Back-UPS CS 650
American Power Conversion Back-UPS CS 650 FW:817.v4.I USB FW:v4 Hooked it up to my ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer and it detected it flawlessly and listed it with 23mins of backup power. Model: ReadyNA...
Shortly after installing this model I got the first battery warning and then another, yesterday, one week on:
The UPS has been sitting right next to me on both occasions and nothing about its status changed. So this is starting to look like being more than just the odd spurious error that appears for one or two users, unless I've just joined a small group of unfortunates. Using the latest software: RAIDiator 4.1.8 currently reporting:
UPS 1 APC Back-UPS CS 650, Battery charge: 100%, 13 minutes Out of Spec
If it's the same as it was last Friday, re-booting the NAS will clear the "Out of Spec" status. But would this eventually clear on its own (i.e. how often does it poll the UPS?). If it was once an hour or so I might trust it to reset itself (I'm guessing the NAS's behavior will change for the worse if it thinks the UPS is on the fritz and a power outage occurs)
After trawling through more instances of this error message (NOTE: not something you would know to do until you got one yourself - when it's too late) I can't help thinking that any Duo or NV could be cabled up to just about any APC CSxxx UPS and give a trace of the issue that's affecting users here.
