Hello All,
I recently purchase 2 new UPSs both are APC Back-UPS XS-1300s. I had 2 APC Back-UPS CS-500s before and thought I would be able to daisy chain a CS-500 off a XS-1300 and utilize both batteries.
However when I plug a CS-500 into a XS-1300 and pull the XS-1300's plug, the CS-500 also goes to battery and the XS-1300 shows no load. For some reason the CS-500 will not draw power from the XS-1300's when it is on battery power.
I also have a APC Smart-UPS 1400. When I plug either the XS-1300 or CS-500 into it and pull the 1400's plug both the XS-1300 and the CS-500 both act like the power is still on and appear to be drawing power just fine from the 1400's battery.
Can someone explain why it appears a Smart-UPS 1400 can power another UPS but a Back-UPS XS-1300 can not?
Also my parents put in a auto backup generator and the UPS they had act like there is no power (go onto battery) when the generator is running. The person who put in the generator said the UPSs would not work with the generator's power again can someone explain why?
Thanks,
