Hi Again Bill,

Checked up the manual for the APC.
It looks like you have to do some configuration with the POWERCHUTE SOFTWARE.
Reset the battery date and make a runtime calibration test.

If this is not done it may as it say in the "Problem and/possible cause"

THE LEDS IN THE BATTERY BAR GRAPH ARE BLINKING TOGETHER

Problem
While online or on battery, the
expected remaining runtime is
lower than the configured low
battery warning interval.

Note: The number of blinking
LEDs still indicates the rela-
tive state of charge of the
connected batteries.

It may be:
The battery runtime meter has
fallen out of calibration and
needs to be recalibrated.

This is worth testing before calling the APC support.

Kjell
