 The two most important functions are the **#10 battery calibration** and the **#12 self-test interval**. Battery calibration must be initiated with a fully charged battery and the normal load (it should be above 10%); it will end when battery drops below about 25%.
-Unfortunately it seems that the **Back-UPS CS 500** model does not support the configuration of the **periodic self-test**, chosing option #12 results always in self-test interval **//None//**. However I asked the APC support about the self-test on model CS 500: a technician answered me in a few days, saying that that model **does a self test** on **power-on** and once **every two weeks**.

One alternative could be to create a cronjob script which stops the **apcupsd** service, run the **apctest** utility calling option #2 **Perform self-test** and then restart the apcupsd service.

+====== APC BX2200MI =======
+Questo UPS monitorato con **apcupsd 3.14.14** di **Debian 12 Bookworm** genera continui falsi allarmi **Batteries have failed**. Sembra che sia un problema di messaggi **LOWBATT** e **REPLACEBATT** spuri generati sul bus USB. Purtroppo il software apcupsd non viene aggiornato da molto tempo e la comunità sembra che sia orientata a passare al software **[[https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=nut|nut]]**, che ha riconosciuto il [[https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/2347|problema]] e ha trovato la soluzione.
