Overload alarm lights and sound

My ups, after 5 years of continuous operation shows the overload's light .

I unplugged the PC and I replaced the battery but I have not solved the problem.

Then I opened it to see if there are components that are burned or leak but nothing.

To be sure I replaced the cooling fan but nothing has changed.

Can anyone give me some tips?

Thank you very much.

Hi, i had the same problem twice...!!!

My battery was ok, everything was ok but

the beep keep going on, for overload...

Both times i fixed doing these steps...

- Turn off the unit

- Flip over the unit

- Open the battery-cap and turn the power on

- Green Light is flashing

- Try Now (with the green light flashing) to disconnect the battery...

- Now it should be ON with the Empty battery light on (Red light)

- Connect again the battery as it is...

Now it should be ok...!!!

Good Luck...

Roberto, If it alarms, even with nothing plugged in, then it is possible that one of the MOSFET on your mainboard has failed.
