Well I'm about to show you what Belkin does to cut corners, and does Belkin make their Ups units.
I had this model of Belkin go out on me just as of yesterday, of course it had died a slow death, none of my hardware has been damaged because of it. But sure alot of hours lost typing out a novel and playing guildwars because w/o warning it will shut off on you.
Ok lets head out to find out what makes this thing Tick.
UL #: 99JS
Make: Belkin
Model: F6c800-Unv
Output: 800va/450w
Input: 120Vac, 60Hz, 12A
Output: 120Vac, 60Hz
Output Surge Only: 120Vac, 60Hz, 12A
Total output current: 12A
S/N 3x024973316w8
Here is what the victim looks like:
Now opening it up, to open the casing up there is 1 screw in the back and 4 at the bottom.
You have a transformer, pcb power board, batterys and outlet box, then leds in the front.
Now upon Inspection, do I not see one but two batterys, user replaceable if you choose to replace them. I would have assumed that Belkin would have used 1 battery instead of 2.
Word of Warning, sorry about the crappy photo of the pcb board, if you need a better view, I'll get one:
On looking at the Pcb board, I caught something out of the Ordinary on the writing on the board, here is what I found:
Maker: Delta
2933021602 Rev: 02
Ges122v115817-A
And the Transformer:
Maker: Cormex-s
Class 130(B) DV-130-1
E8014B
The Belkin unit is a Delta ups unit, Belkin rebadged as their's.
And last but not least, the Led board.
Now to let most of you know, the low end Belkin Models may be made this same way. The higher end models, 1000va or higher, you can replace the battery easier or may have been put together better.
Ok by past experiences from Apc, if you return a Ups unit for repair or replacement due to a manufacture defect, the one question they will ask is this: Have you plugged in a surge protector to the wall outlet first then Ups unit. If you answer no, we cannot accept the ups unit. All this might have changed since last year also.
I was working away typing up a sci-fi novel when the Ups shut off, no beep, nothing. It happens to do this during good or bad weather. My father uses a Belkin Ups, same model too, his stays on, mine does not.
Something unforseen happened to it, cause unknown, It died that is all I know.
