[Apcupsd-users] How do I reset my battery's date like in Power Chute?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

How do I reset my battery's date like in Power Chute? I can
not discharge this as it is a production server.


Many thanks,

Stop apcupsd and run apctest - one of the options lets you set the
battery date. Afterwards, start apcupsd again.

Stop apcupsd and run apctest - one of the options lets you set the
battery date [number 4]. Afterwards, start apcupsd again.

See: man apctest


If the service is not enabled yet:
# systemctl enable apcupsd

To reset the date:
# systemctl stop apcupsd
# apctest # select 4) and reset the date
# systemctl start apcupsd

To read status from the UPS:
$ apcaccess
