Hey guys,
Im a newbie but after searching awhile online this is the only place that ' ve seen similar issues to mine. I recently purchased an Eaton 5E 1500i ups coming from a 850va UPS. The old one has a power consumption while of 150w to 250 w when just idling or minor browsing while its charging. While the newer 1.5Kva UPS is consuming 700W while idle plus it seems like it is always charging. Again i tried to let it charge up to 97% overnight and turned it of and after 5 hours it dropped to 60%. According to the kill a watt meter the 1.5kva ups is only using 30ws when not connected to any thing and about 150w when the pc and monitor are on. With consumption going to 400w when gaming. Seems the software was misreporting which still raises concerns. The 850va one idles at 10w. any further advice would be greatly appreciated
