        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

                  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.

                      @dennypage I tested it with a new UPS and I no longer have the problem. It was the UPS that wasn't working properly.

                      Thanks for your help.
