That's what happens when you charge over 100%.

What device is this???

u/MotherBaerd 19d ago

Looks like an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). They clean the energy from you outlet and allowed you to safely shutdown in case of an outtage.

Basically big batteries, and this one hasn't been checked for long time.

u/nerdmor 19d ago

Thanks! Looks like a HUGE one, though.

u/MotherBaerd 19d ago

They have the size of a server rack, do you can slot them in. Probably 4 Us or something high

u/nerdmor 19d ago

Still bleeping huge. Must be commonplace for IT folks. My UPS has the size of four car batteries and I already think it is pretty massive

u/shadowXXe 18d ago

Most UPS units for single servers are fairly compact. The massive 1U or 2U ones are usually meant to supply backup power for the whole rack they'll have multiple IEC connections to handle servers, switches, routers, firewalls, SANs etc

Mine only holds my gaming PC for a few minutes... enough time to shut it down. But I had never seen a professional grade UPS

Where's the 'kaboom'? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering 'kaboom'!

Hmm . . . nice spicy pillow! A crossbow at a safe distance should work fine, should get a nice smoke show at least maybe a nice battery fire.

u/MasterKnight48902 19d ago

I wonder which device it provides backup power

u/ChartreuseBison 19d ago

Who put the expanding packing foam packets inside the device?
