I just held back the idea of going for a new UPS. I think why my UPS can't hold the PC powered up in the battery mode is because the battery is weak.

So I'm thinking about buying a battery and seeing if it does the job. If it doesn't go too well, I will buy a new UPS.

Does anyone know where to buy UPS batteries?

Cool. You know, I'm going to Pettah on everyday this week (SLT HQ is in Fort). I'll check with Multi Electronics. Guess I have to check the battery model first.

    Hey just saw this thread :yes:

    I got a new 12v 7Ah battery for my 600va UPS, now it works fine than earlier, but costed me 1000/= :shocked: , they were available in 2 shops in Kandy, but was same price on both shops :yes:

    Now works fine, even holds my 17" monitor on for 15mins on powercuts, but once in a while, on a sudden power loss, pc restarts :confused: But works most of the time :)

    PC restart is because of your crappy power supply.

    Which UPS do you have? If it's a PowerTree S600B, can you tell me the battery's specifications? I can't be bothered to open up the UPS :D

    i removed my ups battery & im using a 40amp car battery
    im using it for my pc+ tv
    coz now it can stay longer without power
    but sill i had a problem that it wont charge than 5 amps
    so i had to buy a charger also..
    i took the charger from a battery shop in colombo..

    I'll just stick with the regular battery.
