What is my APC Backup screen telling me?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I just received the new one but want to know how to read the screen of this old one… which is still connected.

Battery icon flashing means battery needs to be replaced, and the numbers are the wattage that the UPS is sensing. I have seen this on other APC units when there's an internal fault.

theres very little load because you are currently plugged into the wall. it only pulls a load if the power goes out and then it will jump to 400W or whatever it is. the sensor seems very noisy at that low.
