It needs a new battery, plain and simple, I suggest just buying a new protector.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The system is running a POST (power-on self test) where it literally is simulating a power outage to deterime if the battery has any usable charge. The light should turn green and the tone should stop fairly quickly. If not, you're either pushing through too much voltage (and need to move up to a higher capacity) or the battery has possibly reached end of life and needs to be replaced.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your inquiry. Likely the UPS will need reset since 400 watts of lights would have overloaded the UPS. This UPS only support 360 watts. You can reset the unit by disconnected the battery then holding the power button for around 10 seconds. You can then reconnect the battery and power the UPS back on. I would also check to make sure the breaker wasn't popped on the unit as well. Please do not hesitate to contact an APCbySchneider support team if you need any further assistance.
