Hello everyone! I'm a new member and not sure that I'm in the proper forum but I see that there are a lot of others using these so Ill give this a shot!
I needed some advice on this:
I am in an RV. My APC Back-UPS 600 worked great when I packed at up in the RV. I rented a hotel room to charge up all of my devices & brought my APC Back-UPS 600 in because it was unplugged & on the shelf for a couple months. I plugged-in everything & fell asleep. i woke up to a call I was late checking out BECUZ my alarm never went off. The whole hotel had an electrical problem that night and none of the rooms in the back had electric while I slept 9 hours! When I checked out they had 2 electricians vans there. My regular battery pack for my phone/ tablet was at 11%, so the electric charged from their one outlet for that long, everything else was dead. The security camera aimed at my RV recorded only 20mins. When I checked my devices as I packed up, the APC light "Building Wiring Fault" was on. The next chance I had to plug in my APC the constant blaring beeping went off. Now I've plugged-in it in for 28hrs and the siren is STILL GOING OFF. I also discovered that a portable power banks I purchased 3 days earlier doesn't work now & had since then, melted 3 USB phone cords. Could something at that hotel have ? ruined my battery for the APC? Or the APC itself? I don't want to waste money for a battery or repair shop if they APC is shot! or vice versa.
Any opinion on what is going on ?
P.S. lesson learned to ALWAYS bring in my surge protectors in also. I could have lost ALL of my electronics!
