BATTERY MONITORING
Battery replacement timing is one of the highest-value reasons to monitor UPS hardware continuously. A UPS can look healthy until the exact event it was bought to survive, so MayaUPS treats battery age, runtime trend, temperature, and preventive maintenance as operational signals rather than afterthoughts.
MayaUPS records battery install date, nominal life, next preventive-maintenance date, and a temperature-adjusted service-life estimate. It also displays runtime remaining, load, charge, temperature, and historical trends where the monitored network-management card exposes those values through SNMP or the standard UPS MIB.
battery_due and pm_due alarms fire roughly 30 days ahead, giving the operator time to swap batteries before failure. Alerts are routed through the SMTP engine with grouping, return-to-normal notices, escalation, and an optional daily digest so one aging battery does not create a stream of repeated messages.
A fault alarm tells the operator that a condition is already active. Battery forecasting is earlier: it turns install date, nominal life, temperature-adjusted estimates, and maintenance timing into a planning signal. That distinction matters for sites that need to schedule replacement work, avoid surprise runtime loss, and document preventive maintenance.
After a verified download, the live backend emails a site key. The user enters that key in MayaUPS to receive battery-replacement alerts. The final production flow still needs the real download URLs, checksum values, and legal identity details, so those items remain labelled as [[TODO]] elsewhere in the site.
The battery page belongs with multi-vendor monitoring because battery state is often reviewed across APC, Eaton, Vertiv/Liebert, CyberPower, and other standards-exposing UPS hardware. MayaUPS uses RFC-1628 data plus vendor profiles where available, which keeps replacement planning in one console instead of splitting it across brand-specific tools.
The current release is free and has no feature gating. Final licence terms are still awaiting approval, so the site does not promise that future licensing can never change.
MayaUPS is not a hosted SaaS service. It is customer-managed software that can run on the local network or in customer-controlled infrastructure; monitoring data stays under the customer’s control.
The current product supports Windows and Linux, including Docker on Linux. The optional host shutdown agent is available for Linux and Windows.
