Tripp-Lite OmniPlus1000LCD

I'd start by getting a manual. Downloads/Tripp-Lite-Owners-Manual-889464%20(2).pdf

Not much information, but it does say something about "...press and hold the power button until the alarm..." To my way of thinking that's rather unusual, I don't usually hold buttons until something makes noise.

Beyond that, maybe look for fuses inside? The UPS units I have are absolutely dead unless connected to a battery.

hth,

How long has the UPS been operational? If it killed "only" one battery, I would guess 5 years.

I keep finding bulging electrolytic capacitors in such UPS's. You can visually see the bulging electrolytic capacitors but an ESR tester will catch more of the smaller electrolytics. Examples:

This might help: "p-lite SMART1000LCD not charging, no emergency power!"

Yes, that procedure worked in the past. No joy now. Thanks!

Jeff,

Yes, maybe 5 years old. Very clean.

I am always pleased to find a bulging capacitor. These are flat and virginal. :( I will dig out my ESR meter but am not optimistic.

The badcap forum string did mention fragile relays in Tripp-Lites. That is a promising lead I will pursue.

Thank you.

It's interesting that the page at

I wonder what might happen if you innocently asked for tech support troubleshooting the "recent" purchase.

Admittedly it's a long shot, but there's little to lose. Even at five years, some amount of support is owed.

Good luck,

For closure,

This particular Tripp-Lite gets some bad reviews.

Someone on You Tube had success reflowing the IC leads. I didn't. Caps tested good. I was then clumsy and destroyed one of the four MOSFETs in a nice ball of fire and smoke. Lacking sufficient incentive to replace the MOSFET, I will chalk up to experience. Thank you both for responding.
