Measures reported by DeltaUpsBatteryTest

This test reports critical statistics indicating the level of performance and overall health of the UPS battery along with the current status of the battery.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Battery_status Indicates the current state of the battery available in this Delta UPS.   The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Ok 0
Low 1
Depleted 2

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of the battery. However, in the graph of this measure, the current state of the battery is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.

Battery_usage_time Indicates the battery discharge time. Secs This measure indicates the value in secs if the unit is on battery power. The value might return to Zero if the unit is not on battery power.
Running_time_left Indicates the running time left in mins, to battery charge depletion under the present load conditions if the utility power is off. Mins Ideally, the value of this measure should be high. A low value or a value that is consistently decreasing is indicative of rapid depletion of the battery charge. If this condition is left unattended, it could result in a UPS failure. Under such circumstances, you might want to turn on the utility power and make sure that the UPS is no longer on battery power, so as to safeguard your equipment and data from irrepairable damage/loss.
Battery_capacity Indicates the percentage of charge currently remaining in the battery. Percent Ideally, this value should be high. If the charge is full, this value would be 100. A value close to 0 or a value that is consistently decreasing is indicative of rapid depletion of the battery charge. If this condition is left unattended, it could result in a UPS failure. Under such circumstances, you might want to turn on the utility power and make sure that the UPS is no longer on battery power, so as to safeguard your equipment and data from irrepairable damage/loss.
Battery_voltage Indicates the current battery voltage. Volts  
Battery_current Indicates the amount of current presently conducted by the battery. Amps A high value is indicative of excessive usage of the UPS.
Battery_temperature Indicates the current ambient temperature at or near the UPS battery. Celcius Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A very high value is indicative of a rise in battery temperature that can be caused by excessive usage of the UPS. The temperature of the battery should always be maintained at optimal levels, so as to avoid failure of the UPS and the resultant disruption of power supply. To ensure this, it is recommended that you install a cooling unit (AC unit) in the area where the UPS is installed.
Battery_condition Indicates the current condition of the battery.   The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Good 0
Weak 1
Replace 2

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current condition of the battery. However, in the graph of this measure, the current condition of the battery is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
