UPS causing Issues
I’ve been using a Tripp Lite 230V UPS for my desktop and networking equipment for almost a year, and it was working perfectly during power outages until recently. Now whenever the electricity flickers, the UPS sometimes makes a continuous beeping sound and shuts everything off instead of switching to battery backup properly. I already replaced the battery and checked the load capacity, but the issue still happens randomly. I’m not sure if the UPS itself is developing a fault or if there’s some issue with the charging circuit. Any suggestions would be appreciated on should I repair it or buy a new one and (if new one) , Where should I get it with reasonable prices .Suggestions are appreciated.

That honestly sounds like the UPS might have an internal inverter or charging circuit issue, especially since you already replaced the battery and checked the load. I had a very similar problem with an older APC unit where it would beep nonstop during voltage drops and completely shut off instead of switching to backup mode. If the unit is already a few years old, sometimes repair costs end up being close to the price of a replacement anyway.
If you decide to replace it, I’d suggest checking
https://etechdevices.com/collections/ups-battery since they usually have decent prices on UPS units and replacement batteries. You could also compare recommendations on sites like “PowerBackupForum”.
