OK, now this seems to be a problem, I started charging at 5-30 pm, now it's 10-30, but the UPS is still cold, I mean shouldn't it get some hot after 5 hours of charge !

Why are you expecting your UPS to get heated up after getting full charging ??

Its a notion. Just charge the ups for certain time duration as mentioned in the manual before using it.

Congrats BTW..

Yeah, it's normal. Manual is right but the units in India are with wrong wire detached.

Even mine sparked, you are getting paranoid too much. Else return it and ask for another piece or let the shopkeeper do this for you with a negotiable charge (price).

There is one not connected right and one empty terminal. Just connect them. Forget the spark.

APC Back-UPS 1100, 230V, BS546A, without auto shutdown software, India
Is this the 1100VA one?

How much does this one cost?

BTW, nice buy considering 1000VA or higher is rrecommended for rigs like yours as there has to be some room for future upgrades. :)

Black one cannot. How you expect to connect it to the computer...?

The one with Powerchute capability had a phone line type of connector that linked up the UPS unit to the PSU and enabled software monitoring and control.

I have the same UPS as you.
