Hello all,

My APC 1100VA UPS went kaput. Can I get it repaired? Its not turning on. What could be the problem? Its showing charging only indicator but not turning on. Its bought on Sep, 30th, 2019 so I think it has done its duty right? Should I order a new same UPS or another brand one? Please suggest? Thanks.

Try taking it to a reputable battery shop.
They will likely diagnosis it and you won't have to pay the full amount for the ups.

However if it's too much of a hassle to you, you can just order a new one.
With a new one you can even look for an upgrade, like higher capacity or more stable ones.
 
Kind of offtopic but this seems to be relevant thread,

My 3 year old APC Back-UPS Pro BR1000G-IN , is not working too. The display shows battery is dead. Looks like the battery costs 6k. I was thinking why not buy a HOME UPS instead of spending more money on this. Any opinions ?
 
@bssunilreddy Not turning on with or without load ?

  • If it turns on without any load then your batteries need replacement. 1100va takes 2x 12v 7.2ah batteries. You can give them back the old ones. They can fetch you anything 100-200 per battery . YMMV
  • If it does not turn on without any load , then issue is with PCB. You can get is replaced by APC or buy a new unit. ( PS - 1100va has a new model now )

It isn't even turning on. So I should order a new one then right?
As the nearest APC service centre is 48kms away and I am in rural TN. So which UPS brand should I go with?
APC 1100VA UPS or Artis or CyberPower ?
I need at least 400watts load bearing UPS on my 750watts SMPS. Please suggest. Thanks.
 
I would say, pick the one that had good a.s.s. in your area.

Also, since you are going to get a new one, consider future expansions and get the load coverage accordingly. For example, below is estimated backup with respect to load for APC 1500va/865W back ups pro.
Code: 
200W = 30 min.
300W = 18 min.
400W = 12 min.
500W = 9 min.
 
My 1100VA ups consists of these 2 batteries. Normally in 600VA ups only one such battery will be there.

I saw in vlebazaar it's priced at 1.7k where as in Google search it's showing as 1.1k. I mean each battery cost.

But local kalpakkam guy who repairs computers is saying that ups battery each costs around .95k which is too low and isn't saying which brand he is selling or offering to me.

Should I buy from vlebazaar or get an aftermarket battery from this local guy.
