I have a Trip Lite Smart 1000LCD that cannot hold a charge
The LCD shows that the trip lite is fully charged but when the power goes it shuts down within about 5 minutes. Usually it only has a laptop connected to it, but even if it has nothing connected to it, it starts screaming and shuts down within 5 minutes.
The annoying thing is that the LCD shows that the trip lite has a three quarter charge when it shuts down!! If I try to turn it back on, it again shows a three quarter charge, bleeps, and goes dead.
I have tried it with a lamp with a 40watt bulb, a modem, and a TV, SKY, DVD and all result in the same thing, dead within minutes, so it seems that the amount of equipment attached makes little or no difference to the outcome, which tells me it's a software problem and nothing to do with the battery itself.
Do you know of this type of problem, and is there a solution?
I really appreciate any help or advice you can give me on this.
Respectfully,
Simon Talon.
