I purchased an Eaton 5S1500 about 1 year ago and it has worked well keeping my computer, monitor, dac, and amp, online during short power failures. Recently, one morning when I turned on my computer I began to notice the smell of heated electronics. There was no smoke, but the smell was definitely coming from the UPS. Since then after having examined it I have noticed a major hot spot at the top of the device. Is this something I should be concerned about? It has been about a week and there hasn't been any issue since, but the thought of this thing burning down my house while I am at work has been bothering me.
The UPS typically hovers around 160-200watts, and will reach about 424watts when the PC is under load. It is operating well within its limits from what I understand. One issue the UPS has had since I bought it, that may be worth...
