Notification: UPS ups battery is low

@fjmp24 How old is the battery? Have you done a calibration test?

@dennypage I changed the battery this year. I don't understand : "Have you done a calibration test" ?

Most UPSs have a "battery calibration test", "runtime calibration test", etc. You are looking for a test that runs the load off of the battery (without cutting mains) to see how the battery behaves under actual load.

Btw, you should remove the ignorelb directive from the Extra Arguments to driver section. Unless you have a very old UPS that signals low battery whenever the UPS is on battery. You almost certainly do not have such a UPS.

Yes, but that may be completely inaccurate, especially with bad batteries. That's why you run a calibration test.

@dennypage I can't run the test. But there's an automated system that does it every week. I tested it without override.ups.delay.shutdown. My UPS shuts down after 30 seconds, compared to 1 minute with the override.ups.delay.shutdown.

I don't understand anything :-((

I didn't say you should remove the override.ups.delay.shutdown directive, I said you should remove the ignorelb directive.

Also, you do not have anything in the Advanced settings section, correct?

As to running a calibration test, consult your UPS manual or support from the manufacturer of your UPS.

Ok, I will test without ignorelb directive.

Yes

I find anything I will search tomorow

If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds

My UPD do an automatic battery test regularly to warn when a replacement of the current battery needs to be carried out.

This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. Either your battery is bad, or your UPS is bad. Most likely battery, but you never know. I suggest reaching out to Eaton support.
