Cyberpower CPU odor

[Turbo-Quad]

I have a Cyberpower CPU for my stove and Ive been on back up with it a few times this year. Each time I noticed a very strong battery odor...like hot batteries. Anyone else getting this? Its not the ignitor over tasking it because I run it on manual non stop i.e. Its hooked up to a thermostat and set on 90 but limited by being on the low setting so it permanently demands heat.

Are you sure it's the UPS battery, and not the motors in the stove overheating? Is the UPS a pure Sinewave type, or a stepped approximation sinewave type?

The motors in these pellet stoves don't like stepped waves.

everyone keptvsaying get an apc es 750. it was a waste of money. ruined the combustion blower. now everyone is saying cyberpowers are pure sine wave up until now. i bought a cyberpower too and now it might not be pure? this is costing me alot of money. id like to get some good iformation on this.

That APC unit only produced stepped sinewaves.

What model CyberPower unit did you buy? I think they have about 5 units big enough to run a pellet stove that have pure sinewave output.

Don't see any model like that listed on the CyberPower website.

Don't see any model like that listed on the CyberPower website.

All the 550's listed on the site are simulated sine.......including the discontinued model......

Not good.

Cyberpower makes both types. The AV units are Stepped Sine waves, not good for motors. The PFC units are the "Pure" sine wave units. I say "Pure" because they are still a simulated sine wave, but they are MUCH closer to a true Sine wave. Mike Holton gave me the seal of approval back when I was looking into mine.

I'd do a good check over on your motors and replace the UPS.

Sorry...
