 | One thing that could be better about the new "Smart UPS" line is that the charge rate on the batteries is aggressive, and the batteries only last 3.5 years now. The older RM1200 that I used to have would go 7 years on a set of batteries and it ran cool. I have a 3000 VA Smart UPS now, but every 3.5 years, like clockwork, the batteries fail. And they run hot. Would love to lower the charge current to make it run cooler and get the battery life I enjoyed with my RM1200 years ago. |
