No instructions included and after 20+ hours the red light is still blinking on my APC. What's the problem?

Are you sure you have the terminals secured properly on the battery? As I recall you have to tighten up the terminals that connect to the battery. Take a pair of plyers and lightly squeeze down on the terminal connectors (attached to the UPS). Squeeze them flat side down. Not too much, but just enough to get a tight fit on the smaller blades attached to the battery terminals. My replacement worked perfect.

When you installed the battery did you allow it to charge for 24 hours before using the APC? (The APC switched off; no load on it.) Go to your instructions for the APC and check for the recommended charge time.

The battery is not being charged so it can power everything that is plugged into the UPS unit. Anything plugged into the 'Battery Backup + Surge Protection' outlets is constantly drawing power from the battery. Problem causes: 1) Electronic device(s) plugged into the UPS is/are drawing so much power that the battery doesn't have a chance to charge up. 2) The circuit board controlling the charging of the battery is faulty and not sending power to the battery for charging.

I am a dentist, not an electrician, but I would put my money on either a dead battery or an internal defect. If it is brand new, send it back and get a replacement, if it is old(3-6 yrs) try a new battery

Mine doesn't blink ... it's either steady read (charging) or steady blue (charged).

I just moved the panel around until they stopped blinking. I haven't had the problem for a while. The lights do not come on without me toggling the on/off switch though.

The red light blinking is low toner indicator. Make sure you removed the paper strip.

I would contact APC for more info. In my opinion this is the best one I have owned though.

Sounds like power supply. Had it happen on mine. Check how many times the red lite turns on and off and then check unternet

Have you tried powering it up while connected to AC power supply? Did any lights blink at all? Also, sometimes the power button needs to be pressed in a specific way to really make it work.

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday.

Hi, There is a small black push-button on the plastic housing, you press it to go through all the 'blinking' sequences, and one of them is OFF. Just keep pressing it slowly, its there.

Happened to mine that is just over a month old. APC is sending a replacement at no charge. Hopefully there is a way to upgrade the relay if this happens after I'm out of the 5-year warranty period.

I'm assuming you have it plugged into a USB port to charge it or pressed the power button to check charge level. Accd to user guide, 1 LED blinking = less than 10% capacity and needs charging. After a few hrs of charging one light will be on solid, middle should blink, then middle solid, 3rd blinking. When fully charged all 3 lights should be on solid (~ 6 hrs). To minimize charge time use a 1A or higher USB charger vs a computer port which only puts out max of 1/2 A.

the receiver has to have the red light on the front blinking. If yours does not have a slow blink than hold down the button on the front just below the light. It should blink quickly for a few times than go out and start blinking slowly. the RFN should work then.

mine does not have a green light, just the red one, I assume you are talking about the board... I would verify that you have 12 VDC and ground to the board, if so, hold the button down on the board, if the light does not come on or start blinking I would suggest getting it replaced under warranty if that is an option..

If you enter an incorrect code you will or should see red light flashing. After a brief timeout you can try again. Two or three strikes and you may to wait a while before trying again. Hope this helps. I have a couple different types of GunVaults so this may be applicable to yours.

I didn't get instructions with my light. The blinking red light seems to mean it has a charged battery ready for use. I take the battery out when I'm not using or charging the it. I use mine for work the battery lasts 2 to 3 hours of steady on. Longer if use is intermediate.

Do you get blinking red lights? The exact same thing happened to me. It turned out that the HDD wasn't properly secured to the trey. Remove the HDD trey and reinsert it. That should fix the problem.

I just got one and the user manual is ridiculously lacking in details. So humor me...how do i check charge status? I turned it on and all lights blinked once. I plugged it in the wall and only 1 light is blinking. How do I know when it is fully charged?
