Comment on Switching out UPS batteries
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 weeks agoYou need a balancing BMS anyway and the UPS will not be able to charge it to what it thinks is 100% (about 15 V at trickle current) unless you trick it with a resistor (which wastes power of course).

Yeah you need a UPS that’s OK with the BMS charge FETs opening when the battery is full.

That’s the problem. There will be no trickle current and the UPS will beep because it will detect battery removal.

Some are ok with it, on a thread I saw on reddit awhile ago about LiFePo4, people had reported a few models that worked fine with the upgrade.
