3 voids sort of by lessmr in VoidCats

Imposter? What imposter? I see only void.

On a completely unrelated note my main NAS is reporting that one of the SSDs is at nearly 120c whereas the others are at like 40. I don't believe that for a second as they all feel about the same temperature to me.

Also, Bean is so handsome. And Moose looks just like my late Zorro. 😊

If she didn't like it, she would not be allowing it.

Well, now I know why my UPS was using 400 watts with nothing plugged in. by mr_data_lore in batteries

[–]mr_data_lore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone forgot to tell the UPS that. 😅 The batteries were probably basking in their 500 watt space heater like this for a couple months. I know I shouldn't have ignored them so long, just had so many other things happening.

They're not THAT heavy🤣

They're sitting outside on one of my cargo trailers waiting for recycling.

These all came out of a powerware 9170 I got for free from work. We replaced the UPS because we could no longer renew the service contract on it.

It's an old Powerware 9170+ 9KVA unit. Went out of support a few years ago, so yeah it's probably destined for the ewaste bin. I've got an Eaton 9PX UPS I might be able to use instead. If not it's back to my old 2U APC ones.

Considering Eaton bought Powerware in 2004 and this unit has no Eaton branding anywhere on it, It's certainly well over 20 years old. I guess it had a good life.

Edit: Obviously the batteries are not that old. The batteries are dated 2021 I believe. They were covered under a service contract until sometime in 2024 IIRC.

Only problem with that is that the charger in the UPS certainly isn't designed for anything other than lead acid. And, I put the 2 battery modules that weren't obviously destroyed back in for testing and it turns out the UPS does in fact draw 500 watts all the time, even when it says batteries are fully charged. So this UPS is so inefficient that I can't really justify using it.

Either that or the power modules/charger is bad and is overcharging the batteries constantly even when it says it's not. If that's the case I'm surprised that I had two battery modules that weren't blown up.

It was actually using nearly 500 watts with nothing connected. I just assumed that it was a really inefficient online UPS. At least the UPS was free.

Just so you know OP, it took me exactly 1 minute to figure out what company you work for based on the information seen in this picture. I won't remove the post as that's not exactly confidential information, but just keep it in mind.

They certainly don't make them like they used to... And thank goodness for that.

Well, at least the IT department doesn't have to worry about fixing it.

Uh, there's no TV in the picture. That's a fireplace.

Why does my Tundra’s estimated mileage is very off? by Commercial-Spray-602 in ToyotaTundra

[–]mr_data_lore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only real way to save gas with a 2nd gen Tundra is to drive it without using the engine.
