What to do if my Vertiv UPS fails to start?
If your Vertiv UPS fails to start, it might be due to a short circuit or overload. Turn off the UPS, disconnect all connected devices, and ensure nothing is stuck in the output receptacles. Also, verify that the connected devices are not faulty or shorted internally. Alternatively, the batteries may not be adequately charged or properly connected. Check the internal battery connection and connect it if necessary. If the battery is already connected, allow the UPS to charge for 24 hours by keeping it connected to the input power before attempting to start it again.
Why does my Vertiv UPS have reduced battery backup time?
Reduced battery backup time in your Vertiv UPS can occur for several reasons. First, ensure the UPS is plugged in continuously for at least 24 hours to fully recharge the batteries. Secondly, check the load level indicator and reduce the load on the UPS if it is overloaded. Finally, the batteries may be old and unable to hold a full charge, in which case you should replace them. Contact your Vertiv representative or Vertiv Technical Support for a replacement battery kit.
