Great video, incredibly helpful! Saved my like 8 year old UPS, didn't want to have to throw it away if I could avoid it! Glad with your instructions it was an easy swap.
I appreciate this. I have the same unit (over a decade old now) powering my PC and wrongly thought the sudden shutdowns were a PC driver issue, but no, it was the UPS battery. Time to change it. Nice to find a video on changing it out.
Thank you for taking the time to show this! Saving my 12 year old UPS!! The battery lasted 11 years and was about to buy a new UPS when I came across your video! Saving $$$$
My Costco UPS stopped working fully a while back, and after coming across your video, I decided to do something about it! After watching it twice, I ordered a replacement battery, and fifteen minutes of work now has the UPS up and running fully again. Thanks a lot! Your video, with the detailed instructions, really made it easy.
Thank you so much for this! Because of your excellent video, we were able to replace the battery in our UPS in less than 5 minutes...not counting the time at two hardware stores looking for a long Phillips screwdriver,
Yes! Awesome. Love hearing this. Honestly when I posted the video I never thought it would help so many folks. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the good instructions and great video clip. My battery replacement went off without a hitch (or a jolt) thanks to this great guide. I am not an electrician, but I take seriously all advice not to touch parts that might cause shock. I'm here to tell you this advice works. Anyway, the Tripp Lite unit is functioning and the battery is charging up. Thanks for your time and trouble, Joseph!
Just so you know: your video gave me the confidence to change the battery in my OMNI1000LCD UPS. I had quite a bit more trouble putting it back together than you (thanks to irreversible carpal tunnel syndrome combined with poor eyesight) but I still managed it with a little help from the wife. Excellent video, and you saved me a TON of money from buying a new one (although the new ones look pretty cool, too).
Thanks a lot, Joe!
I've had it hooked up for a couple of months, and the new battery has never charged more than half-full. Bummer.
Thank you for this video - my Smart1000LCD just crapped out on me, and while still in the warranty period, the local shop needs the original receipt to work on it. I bought it around 2 years ago, so so much for that! But now, who needs'em :)
Found your video and wanted to say thanks. You saved me from buying a new UPS.
That's awesome great. Neat to see this 5 year old video is still helping people out.
Thanks! You were a big help. I lucked out and had exactly the same model as you. After watching your video, it was simple to replace the battery and get the UPS working again.
Thanks Joe!
Went on the TrippsAlot site to find documentation for my OmniPlus1000LCD...found the product page and there were no manuals, no documentation, nothing...nada, zippo, zilch.
I also have 2 Omni1000LCD up's, and two APC UPS's. These were all purchased at Costco prior to finding a UPS manufacturer with GREAT product support.
Cyber Power is the best, I now own 9 CyberPower units, 4 of them obsolete rack mount models I got used from eBay. Can't say they'd do it for everybody, but they sent me some parts at no charge!!! I use the other UPS brands for non critical loads, such as my alarm clock and coffee pot. (When I replace a group of 4 or 8 batteries some are still healthy, I keep the healthy ones charged in a ups to keep them healthy). I'm ready for the bad weather :). Btw: Having my DLP TV on a UPS has made a profound difference in lamp life...the AC voltage in my area (Winchester VA) is anything but stable.
It takes a lot of Batteries to feed all of my UPS's. I've been buying from batterymart for years, even when I live in CA and NM, but they have an store in this city...still shop around for your UPS battery carefully. Always get at least a 9AH battery (if you can afford it).
Nice! Thanks for the comment and the visit.
Oh yeah Robert! I'm so stoked about how we opened the season. I can't imagine what it must have been like at Sports Authority. Luck guy, you.
Kudos on the detail and caution approach.
Great video Joe! The Broncos/Ravens game was epic the other night that I went too! Love how we won 49-27 YEAH!
Thanks man! That made this a very easy job! Appreciated!
Thanks for the video! Was trying to figure out how to remove the battery to do a reset on my UPS per Tripp Lite support instructions and this helped immensely!
Great feedback! Glad it helped.
Great share...always hook the negative up first.Now I have to share this to folks .
I got I got mine yesterday from a hospital that threw them out. So I took one. Come to find out nothing was wrong with it. Thanks for this great video
Great video, Joseph, thanks! I've got the EXACT same UPS also purchased at Costco and will replace its battery shortly!
Thank you, Joseph. You help me saving time and money with this video. Cheers,...
Luis Zunino love hearing this old video still helping people out.
Thanks much for the great tutorial. I replaced my battery and the procedure was exactly how you described. By the way, I purchased the same exact battery on eBay and paid only $19 with free shipping. My Tripp Lite OMNI 1000LCD is up and running and saved some $$$ by replacing the battery instead of the whole unit.
That's awesome, Mitchell! Thanks for the feedback. It's a great little unit. So glad I didn't just throw it away.
Great video. Thanks for posting it. I thought I was going to have to buy a new UPS when my Tripp-Lite Smart1000LCD quit working. I put in a new Power Sonic battery and now it runs better than ever. Good job!
Terrific! Glad it helped you.
Was yours lighting up at all before replacing the battery?
Really useful, UPS became so expensive, I am glad I can save mine, thanks!
I have two units that do not light and hopefully the problem of battery... Your video turned me very practical and I thank you greatly... When changing battery informs you. Thanks!
Jorge Luis Lopez Guzman Excellent. Thank you, Jorge.
Thanks for the video. It was easier than I expected.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for making the video. I have a different model but access to the battery is very similar. This video saved me some trial and error guess work.
Very nice! Glad to hear it.
Well done and thank you. I was about to throw this in th dumpster. I changed and it's now working. Saved me some $.
Awesome!
Great helpful video , Joe, replaced the batteries in 3 units that stopped working totally after 4 years of service. After finding info that the batteries were not user replaceable I thought I was going to end up spending on a new set. I was able to find a replacement battery on Amazon for $19 shipped.
Very nice! Glad to help.
I have the same unit, that I got from Costco. The battery backup side is not working at all, no LCD working either. I have been using the other Surge Protector side for about a year, never bothered to replace the battery, after seeing this, I would give it a try. I did not know the battery I needed to replace the existing one. This has been a big help.
I am assuming the LCD will come back on if there is a battery that's working on that side of the UPS device.
I just replaced my battery too - I wouldn't have been able to if you weren't here to help. Thank You
That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback and Merry Christmas!
I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad it helped you out.
Thanks. Helped a lot. Made the switch in ten minutes. Battery sharks has them for 12 bucks!
Wow you really can find anything on the internet lol! My SMART1000LCD has been dead for years and now I need the 4 sockets on the other side that stopped working because of it. Planning on trying this weekend. Thanks!
Mine says also SMART instead of OMNI, did you replace the battery with the same one Joe showed on the video?
@@cesarduran81 I bought this one, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000093UPO unfortunately I think another part was broken because replacing the battery did not work
This was really helpful for me. Thank you for making the video.
Wonderful! Glad to help.
Could very well be the battery. Mine would just die but I couls turn it back on. Yours won't turn on at all even with the AC in the wall?
Just ordered another replacement battery for my Tripp Lite OMNI1000LCD UPS since the unit started randomly shutting down even though the Replace Battery light didn't appear AND the battery was still showing 5 bars. I originally purchased this UPS in May 2006 from Costco and replaced the battery for the first time ~ 6 years later in Feb 2012 with a 12V 9A UB1290 off eBay for $26.99 shipped made by UPG (Universal Power Group). Almost exactly 6 years later (Feb 2018) replacing its battery again with another UPG UB1290 off eBay for $18.99 shipped. Impressive battery life vs. the maximum 3 years we get on the 12V 18aH RBC7 UPS batteries in our company's much heavier duty APC SUA1500 and APC RUA3000 UPS units.
Thanks Joe. I bought one of these PS-1290 PowerSonic batteries from Amazon in June 2013 to replace the OEM battery in the same Costco UPS that you have. It's now October 2015, and I need to replace the replacement. So it looks like these last about 30 months.
(One suggestion, would be great if your video showed you unplugging the UPS before disassembly.) Best wishes, George.
+heNBCvideo Hey George. Good point. The unit sits in my home office. I was working on it at our dining table so I definitely had it unplugged. I probably should have put a disclaimer on my video. Haha!
I have the same model thanks for this video.
Any video of how you did that? Or instructions? I might want to do that.
It doesn't turn on anymore because its like 5 years old now, however it gives power to the surge protected outleds. If I take out the battery so I can use it for some other project, I think the surge protectors will still work. Main point if I take it out and launch the ups will there be any safety issues? I can isolate the terminals
I spent many years working at a larger corporation. We had thousands of the Battery Back Systems that were from small installation to larger installations.
When you 1st install these they work great for the 1st few years, then you start getting into the maintenance of replacing the batteries. Once you are in the maintenance window, your equipment, computers or whatever you were protecting are now losing power because of dead battery or weak battery and your equipment is down because of no power. This is exactly what you were trying to do in the first replace was to avoid a power outage. For years we were trying to decide if UPS systems were worth their money. The UPS became another device in the mix that could fail.
My opinion is for large companies that have plenty money to spent that it would be worth it for sound of mind. For home use since you probably only need one and only have to replace the battery every 3 years its differently worth protecting your PC with valuable data. Home UPS system cost $75-$150 and the batteries can be replace with at a cost around $40-$75 from your local battery dealer.
Worked a charm
Thanks for the Video, turns out the whole UPS is Dead, took the battery back and bought a new one. Cheers
SO AWESOME, Joseph!!!! :-) :-)
I was given an old UPS (yes, EXACTLY this model!!) about a year ago and it's just been sitting around taking up space, and then I saw that you had this video, so I ordered a replacement battery for it.
Today, I FINALLY found time to finish this project and with the help of your video, it's ALL DONE!!!!
You made this SO non-intimidating and I thank you SO MUCH for this!! :-) :-)
Have a great day and a wonderful week and I'll be thinking of you the next time the power goes out here and **I'M** able to keep my machines up and running!!!
Sue
:-)
Susan Colley wow Sue! Thanks for the wonderful feedback! Glad I could help you out.
Will the ups launch without the battery as a surge protector?
Like your video I’m thinking about getting a UPS I was wondering how hard the batteries were to replace
The batteries weren't that hard to replace but I wouldn't buy this model again. I have long replaced this with a Tripp-Lite SMART1500LCDT that has hot-swappable batteries. That OMNI model, technically, wasn't designed to change out the batteries.
Thanks, got everything replaced and then had no idea how to run a test on the battery till your watching your video.
Great news. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Joe
Great video. I have the same model that I haven't powered up (turned on) in a couple of years. Presently, it doesn't turn on - beep, click and display turn on. In your experience, does this sound like a battery problem or something else. The battery is measuring around 5V. The unit doesn't turn on with the battery disconnected either.
Thanks
Jeff
Hmmm. Good question. I'd it's completely dead with a battery installed then maybe the circuit board is fried. Not sure. If it were me, I'd just buy a new one at that point. Probably not worth the trouble.
very good
Thanks for the video.
Had a question regarding the voltage. The voltage keeps changing and wondering if that is normal.
I replaced the battery, plugged it in, turned it on, then held the mute button until it beeped and let it run.
Thank you again.
My unit's voltage display jumps around occasionally but I live in an older house. When my wife fires up the hairdryer it really drops sometimes down to 110. But it usually stays around 120.
Thanks! 👍
Thanks!
Great video, thanks. One question. With the UPS upright as shown, the battery is upright with the terminals at the top of the battery. I run my identical UPS flat, meaning the battery terminals would be on the battery side. Does that make any difference? Are those batteries designed to be laid on their side? I know I would not like to lay my car battery on its side.
It’s been a while since I had this UPS. I will say that the batteries are fully sealed and shouldn’t leak. I agree they should be standing up but I don’t remember if that UPS made you lie them on their sides or not.
@@JosephChavez Thanks, Joe. I asked because you found yours had leaked. I have since checked the manual and it is fine flat or upright.
Thank you for this!!! Just found your video and is exactly what I needed for my tripp lite Omni1000lcd battery replacement. Question tho....when the replacement battery is installed, how long before it charges to 5 bars? Mine has been in for 24 hrs and while there is no longer a replace battery prompt, I still am only showing 3 bars on battery. Normal????
Stan Steffen good question. It might take a bit longer for it to fully charge. I will say that I got rid of this unit about six months ago because the new battery started failing. I went with a new TrippLite unit that has user replaceable, hot swappable batteries to avoid the drama with this unit.
LOL, thank's Joseph, sounds like a plan to me as well. If this battery does not fully charge I will just bite the bullet and purchase a new Tripp Lite. Which one did you go with?
Stan Steffen an awesome TrippLite Smart1500LCDT. I think I got it off Amazon. Probably paid around $150 or so. Worth it. Has been working like a champ.
cool, that's the one I was just online looking at on Amazon ;-) Thanks!
Thank you!! :):):)!!!
its funny the unit just shuts down i thought that thats what ups's were suppose to prevent. also i was reading other comments and the battery leaking seems to be a common problem which could mean 1 of 2 things a really cheap battery from the factory or the batteries are being overcharged if they are being overcharged which means it will keep doing the same thing you will find out i'm sure powersonic is a top of line company so if the battery fails because of leaking batteries again replace the ups
Thanks for this video. I have this same UPS and I replaced the battery in an APC UPS that I got at a thrift so I'm sure I can do this easily. The battery replacement looks not as easy as the APC unit which the battery is obviously made to be user replaceable.
Yeah I don't think they want you to replace this one even though you can with a little effort. Thanks!
+Joseph Chavez Crazy - battery should be user replaceable on these units!
Also applicable to the tripp-lite omni900lcd, Thanks
I've occasionally put a "Wanted" ad on Freecycle or Craig's List and then gone collecting "dead" UPS units. Probably more than half of them just need a battery. Most of the bigger units I have (including an OMNI1000LCD) were "freebies". I had a screwdriver with a slightly shorter blade so I cut about 3/4" off the blade side of the handle to be able to open the OMNI and some other UPS units with deep-seated screws. (Yes, it's ugly - but it works fine ;-)
The OMNI1000 is a relatively efficient UPS, providing 250 watts for 10 minutes or 20 watts for maybe 2-3 hours - at the lower power levels, think power for a cable modem or router or DVR or ... I'm not sure of the original production date of the OMNI1000LCD but it was first listed on Amazon in January of 2007.
The only cheaper low power UPS is the APC BGE70 or BGE90 (70 and 90 watts, respectively) which are ideal for low power loads and newegg.com sells them for $20 delivered several times a year - you must be on their mailing list to see that deal. $20 makes the UPS cheaper than its replacement battery so I have several of the BGE70 and BGE90 to power things scattered around the house: 1. the laptop monitoring my small solar backup system, 2. the Uverse router and the base unit for the cordless phones, 3. the gigabit router and 24 port network switch, 4. the house alarm console, the talking caller ID box and an LED nightlight - this one is good for about 7 hours, 5. the Raspberry Pi that's the web server for my in-house network and a wi-fi repeater for part of the basement. All these small backups mean I continue to have the usual services (phone, internet, etc) during short power outages and there's no rush to get backup power going. I usually wait 30 minutes into an outage before doing more than getting out a flashlight and putting a spark lighter by the gas cook top.
The solar backup system? Think BIG UPS. 540AH battery bank with a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter. It can power the fridge, some LED lighting, the furnace, internet and charging phones for about 12 hours and it's switched in with a GenTran manual backup power transfer unit. I don't yet have enough solar panels or battery capacity to be off grid for days, but having 10-12 hours of silent backup means I'm not out in a thunderstorm trying to get a gasoline generator started.
My first "end of civilization" novel is here: www.amazon.com/dp/B01LVU5ILA
notyoung so awesome! Thanks for the feedback and the info!
I have that one. How is your display so bright? Mine is upposed to have a dimmer control but there are only two buttons?
I think the dimmer is on the omniplus1000LCD version...not the omni1000LCD version. My omni1000LCD has no dimmer whereas my omniplus1000LCD does have a dimmer (a slider "tab" on the left side of the LCD display).
Thank you for this helpful guide. You made it easy to save over $100 per unit and I have 3.
Mark Goldman awesome!
Hello Joe! My LCD screen doesn't show the battery replacement icon, instead it shows the last (4th) window with an icon like a triangle and balancing beam to one side and the word FAULT at the bottom. I should add that the unit suddenly turned off and the battery icon shows only three bars charged. First thing that comes to mind is the battery; yet, the FAULT icon makes me think it's the electricity in the house. I went to a friend's house who has this same unit and plugged mine in the same outlet, but nothing changed. Any idea what's going on? Thanks for your help!
So you got the same results at your friend's house? If so, it might be the battery or something else. My guess is the battery, depending on the age and also based on you not getting full bars. I'll bet the battery is starting to swell or leak. You could at least open the case just to peek in on the battery. Hopefully a new battery will fix your issue.
First let me thank you for this video. I was about to throw away the UPS when I found it. I have one of these UPS units. Mine is a OMNIPLUS 1000 but it looks identical. Question for you. You said it would just shut off. Did it completely go off where there was no display at all? Mine is completely dead but I think it is because the battery is completely dead. I think mine is probably 7 to 10 years old.
+Rick Fitzgerald Hey Rick! If I remember correctly, I think even when plugged into an outlet and had good power, the unit would shut down. Cold. Completely off. That's when I knew that it was probably the battery. When I opened it up--I don't remember if this is on the video--the original battery had already started to swell so it was clear that it needed to be replaced. Sounds like you might be in the same boat. Not sure if this is a feature of the unit--if it has a bad battery it won't start up--but I think I've seen others who had the same situation. Really, it's not a bad unit. Batteries fail. In fact, I just found out that my home alarm system needs a new battery! I have to open it and see if it's the same kind as in this UPS.
Mine went out without any warning. Just went totally dead. Computer and monitor completely lost power. OTOH, I had the UPS in a place where I never checked on the LCD for battery condition. It is not a good thing for the SSDs I installed in my computer to suddenly lose power. All kinds of bad things can happen.
Mine says fault after testing it has a new battery it's fully charged it says the battery is low. It also will switch to the battery if I unplug it but then will shut off the devices when plugged back in and supply no power untill I unplug the unit.
@JLiRD808... dealt with tripp-lite ups's for 7 years. A lot of large electrical/electronics companies purposely make products non serviceable to the average consumer as a cost of sales measure, to entice consumers to buy again...
Just a tip with transformers like these you don't want to touch the board even after the battery is gone the capacitors and the transformer will still have a charge and you can still get electrocuted just plug something into the battery port to drain all the power to protect your self
If you unplug the cord and disconnect the battery, there is nothing storing enough energy to electrocute you. There's a slim possibility of a shock. Transformers do not store power and there isn't enough power left in a capacitor to harm you - other than jerking back from a shock and busting your knuckles on something sharp ;-) Low voltage wiring (24 volts for thermostats, etc) is considered safe.
I've been dealing with power on some level for almost 60 years - house wiring, automobile wiring, small electric vehicles, small solar systems (under 7KwH).
I just pulled a Smart 1000 lcd out of storage. It does nothing when plugged in. I am going to investigate the inside/battery. thanks for the video.
Jim Bridge did changing the battery worked?
So mine unit is showing at full power however I get this clicking noise every so often and the power dims. So like if I have my laptop plugged into it the screen will dim for a little while, it will click again and then my screen will go back to regular brightness. So even though battery shows as full power should I still try and order a new battery and try replacing it or does it sound like the entire unit should be replaced?
Hmm, hard to tell. It depends in part how old the battery is. Mine used to click a lot but the LCD on the unit would dim. Sounds like a failing battery to me but again, depends on how old it is.
My ex bought it so not entirely sure, My guess is about 4-5 years old. Just hate to replace the entire thing if I can just replace the battery. Probably worth investing ~$30 to see. Thanks and video is quite helpful since looking at this I couldn't figure out how to get in so thank you!
Stacy Bentley At 4-5 years old, I'd say it's a bad battery. Worth the cost just try and replace it.
Agreed and will try that! Thanks! Will let you know if that fixes it!
thank you for the video and very nice job. I just wanted to caution users that there are rectifiers and condensers that can and will hold a charge even after the battery is unplug. Be careful messing around with the business end of the UPS. You could have a shocking result :-)
That was my biggest concern while I was making the video. It would have been capture on video which might have been fun for some viewers. Ha!
Hmmm...I'm not an electrician so I can't say for certain. However, if you UPS is that old with the original battery that isn't working, yes, you should at the very least remove it because it'll start leaking. Mine just barely started leaking so it's a good thing I swapped it out before I had a huge mess on my hands. Beyond that, I can't really tell you, but I'm sure you'll find something about that on the 'net.
lls.... every part is serviceable. no matter the ups/power supply
Also need to make sure the new battery is F2 which is the size of the terminal s.
What's stupid is that Tripp Lite's website has TONS of videos...but none on how to replace batteries >:(
Thank you!
Yeah that's because you really aren't supposed to be able to change the batteries in these. They aren't necessarily user-replaceable even though it's easily done.
Probably because there are so many people who wouldn't unplug it to replace the battery and would sue TrippLIte if the idiot got shocked or killed. If they made a unit that disconnected the power when you removed the cover, they might provide that video. Not a problem for me - I design and build things with "No user serviceable parts inside" ;-)
Because they dont support, or want you to be, replacing the battery
I doubt it as I believe the battery is part of the overall circuit. Also, since my old battery was so worn out, the entire UPS would just shut itself off without warning. So if you remove the battery entirely, I don't think the UPS will even turn on.
En es pañol quiero la informasin
how long should the screwdriver be?
I recommend at least 9" minimum.
+Joseph Chavez i brought 3 screwdrivers so far and none fit im so mad but i know what to look for now so thanks alot for the info
Si te apellidas Chavez has un video en español... please.
I have a brand new of this model. Last night was my first power off on my house and My battery went to 20% and i turn it off.. Now this morning the battery have not charge a bit. Is a brand new.. I have everything unplug and do the test... and nothing... Can someone help me?
theres no replace battery, fault or any of those.. is clean like in your video at the end
I've got a Tripp-Lite SMART1000LCD.
Unlike this OMNI1000LCD, the SMART1000LCD has a user-accessible battery compartment. Just remove one retaining screw, slide the compartment lid off and there's the battery. No having to take the unit apart to gain access.
Of course, I did have to take my SMART1000LCD apart anyway as there was a loose part inside. Turns out one of the MOSFETs became completely detached from the mainboard. Fortunately, it didn't cause any shorts, though it would prevent the unit from functioning. Installed and resoldered the part back on the board and reflowed a couple of questionable solder joints while I was at it.
For a part to just come off says enough about their quality ... none of it good.
On top of that, the original battery went bad. That, I can't fault Tripp-Lite for.
got a replacement battery and what do you know the new replacement battery died after one day I was socked no voltage and nothing,talked to the supplier and after a time agreed to give me a second one and this time it worked,the moral of the story be aware of the person selling you a battery it may not charge.
Yup. I long ago upgraded that UPS to a Tripp-Lite SMART1500LCDT and those batteries are still running strong. I haven't had to replace them yet but at least I know this UPS is designed to have user-replaceable batteries.
Dude rubber gloves.
Talks with way too much details. Just get to the point !
I wonder if the front panel indicator that says "REPLACE" might be a sign that you should replace the battery. Hmmmm...🤔🤦🏻♂🙄 🤣 And P2 is a Phillips #2 size. Sheesh, it's so basic dude.
