We got replacement battery "kits" for some of our APC UPS' (Smart-UPS, rackmount). I put them into one tray (it's for an RBC 43, which takes 8, and weighs a ton), and put it in, and let it charge. Idiot "change battery" led stays on. So I hit the test button, it discharges very rapidly (a good number of servers on this), and the led stays on.
For some reason, apcupsd's USB test fails, with an HIDDEV i/o error. So I got rid of the weird APC usb cable, and put in one of their serial cables, and run the "smart" test (the USB does more), and get results showing everything's fine.
But the idiot light's still on.
So, looking at all the values that the "apcsmart" choice can give me, the first thing is UPS status. I've been googling for a while, and can't find a single reference to it. Anyone have a link to somewhere that will give me the status codes (and their meaning)?
Thanks in advance.
