Joy Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have a Microtec double battery UPS and only my PC an 360 connected and both never run simultaneously.....it's battery dead! Nope not dead buy yeah it is getting close to dead , batteries have a life cycle as well , so the backup time reducing gradually , change your batteries , both should run simultaneously after that during power cut. I run a PS3 , 22' Dell LCD Monitor as well as a High End Gaming PC with 650W PSU on a 800VA Double Battery Microtek UPS , I can run all three simultaneously for atleast 5-10 mins. during power cut.Luckily in this part of Delhi power cuts are pretty rare.

Hey I also have the microtek 800 va ...Of late it has started continously. I guess the battery has gone bust. Any idea how to change the battery and which battery is compatible ??? My ups is out of warranty and when I called up Microtek A.S.S they told that they would charge 200 bucks for looking at it and if there is a problem with the battery , a new one is gonna cost 1500 bucks (which I think is very expensive) .

Yup even I called up Microtek last year both batteries cost me 1500 , they take the old batteries otherwise the battery change would cost 1800-2000. The earlier batteries lasted me pretty long from 2005-2009 , generally what the Microtek engineer said was the batteries last max 2yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier batteries lasted me pretty long from 2005-2009 , generally what the Microtek engineer said was the batteries last max 2yrs. that's not good.....mine has lasted less than a year now! damn.....But the good thing is these batteries are within warranty! So I'll have to replace them shortly! And thanks joy for the reply....atleast I now know that my batteries aren't completely dead! My UPS jus acting like a sub-standard stabilized now! EDIT: I used to have backup of near 30 mins before (on my entry level gaming PC) and now nothing.....If i charge it for several hours no backup......but if I don't connect it to power and leave it jus like that without recharging, I do get backup of around 20 seconds.....dunno what's that all about!

Joy Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 The Battery health relies mostly on the use , means the more power cut in your area more the battery gets used. As I said I'm lucky for the last 2-3 years that powercut in Delhi (Rohini) in significantly less compared to 5 yrs ago. Even I was surprised to hear that Battery last only max 2 yrs on approx whereas my UPS's batteries lasted almost 4 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
