Measures reported by PPCBattStatsTest

It is very important for administrators to know what is the current status of each and every battery if the system is running on battery power. This test monitors the battery and come up with key metrics like how much capacity is left, what si teh voltage and how long it will be before the battery would need replacement. These statistics help them ensure that the IT peripherals run uninterrupted and none of the device goes offline because of battery failure.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for the PPC UPS monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
battcpty Indicates the capacity remaining in the battery as a percentage of total capacity. Percentage

Battery capacity goes down over time and any planning needs to he done on the basis of current capacity of the battery.

battVolt Indicate the output voltage of the battery denoted in 1/10th of a Volt. Volts

If the voltage is lower than expected, it may be a sign of poor battery performance which means the battery may need replacement sooner.

battTemp Indicates the current internal temperature of UPS measured in 1/10th of a degree celcius. Celcius

A high temperature may be a symptom of battery issue and can not just battery damage but also damage to internal wiring of the UPS.

battRunTime Indicates the time it takes for the battery to go from current state to exhaustion. Seconds

There should be enough time for you to make alternate arrangements if the battery is about to run out.

battReplace Indicates if the batteries in the UPS needs replacement or not.  

The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalent are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Battery needs replacing 0
Battery is fine 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current status of this fan. The graph of this measure, however, represents the status of the fan using the numeric equivalents only.

battChrg Indicates the charge remaining in the battery as a percentage of maximum charge it can hold. Percentage

If the charge is less, you may need to plan replacing or charging the battery.
