Comment on UPS input load

The UPS needs some power to keep its batteries full. Could be that it’s triggering off some threshold to do a charge cycle instead of just running a constant trickle. I’ve noticed that my laptop and phone charge that way, for example.

But the TP link that measure the power is plugged into the UPS not the other way around. The UPS is directly in the wall plug.

The UPS has no influence in that case on the power reading.
