We have an aging Smart UPS RT 5000 XL with 5 external batteries. On the web interface, it says our Watts Output is 56% (I couldn't find anyplace in the command line or web interface that gives actual numbers). So, then, is my average draw 1960 Watts? (3500 * .56).
Based on that number, is anyone familiar with APCs battery life estimation in their product page? I just want to be sure I'm getting a replacement unit that can handle the load, and give reasonable time to gracefully shut down everything.
I'm also a little confused on what "Duration" means in Shutdown options for Powerchute Network shutdown. Does that mean the UPS will wait 2 minutes before shutting down the designated VMs?
