The last thing I wanted to do today is drive across town during rush hour.

We had a power blip and now the one UPS keeps cycling on and off every 5 seconds. Tried unplugging and plugging back in-no go. I've had problems with that one before, it's about 5 years old.
So I get to make a 40 mile round trip during the evening rush .

AARRGGHH!!

1. What's the brand/model #?

Has this happened before?

3. Cyber Power. It's done weird things before but nothing like this.

4. CP is my goto for UPS.

I was afraid of that. I have one that's acted a bit wonky now and then. I wasn't sure whether to attribute to the design or maybe the battery.

Any thoughts?

5. Don't know. It's about 5 years old so the battery may be crapping out.

After I left it off for an hour it started working fine again. But I'm still going to get a new one and relegating this one to secondary duties.

6. Do you have experience with other brands of UPS?

Any recommendations?

2. Maybe it's under water

Sorry... could not help my self. Maybe you should invest in a IP Managed Remote Power Switch - not sure if it would have helped in your situation. Or maybe you could build a Arduino circuit to trigger the Reset button, powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery? Anything to save you 40 miles of drive time!
