I'm not an expert in this field so I don't understand why the batteries die when connecting a serial cable but don't die when they're not "powered" anymore and the UPS is "on battery". Maybe it's a wiring/short circuit issue or maybe it really is related to the batteries or both. > It's wise to run a calibration once or twice a month with a > self test filling in the weeks between (maybe once a week). I did more then a self test. I cut the main power off. But I'll perform another one soon just to make sure the batteries are ok. Thanks for all the feedback.
