Several question's about UPS.

[Dionyz]

Hello I bought an Cyberpower 1200AVR battery backup, and the battery has reached it's limit, so it's basically cannot hold the battery mode. Unless I put a cell phone charger. So I was wondering:

1) Does it still protect like an fully functioning battery except going into battery mode? Meaning will it protect my computer?

2) Does Automatic voltage regulation still work with the machine?

3) I had an over voltage yesterday, and I had powerpanel personal edition running, so it tried to kick in battery mode, and of course my computer turned off, so I was wondering did the over voltage harm my UPS or my computer? (Basically what I want to do is turn off the program and have my UPS take all the hits because kicking into battery mode will turn my machine off.)

4) Would putting an UPS in a power surge protector give my UPS better protection?

 

Even if you cannot answer all questions. Please answer the ones you can. Thank you so much for your help

Do you mean the battery is dead and doesnt have enough power to keep stuff running?

 

if thats what you meant by "reached its limit" then yes it still has all the power conditioning and surge protection that it would usually have

 

btw the reason your PC turns off might not be a dead battery, it might be that you have a PFC power supply, and your UPS is simulated sine wave not pure sine wave

you need a pure sine wave UPS to power PFC power supplies without them turning off when power is cut

It can run my phone charger fine in battery mode, but it will not run my laptop charger or my computer / Screen. It just turns off the UPS.

 

I have an "Sentey® Power Supply 1000w 80 Plus Bronze Modular". 

 

If it's due to not having pure sine wave would it damage my equipment?

it wont damage anything

it just means that when power goes out your stuff turns off instead of keeping running
