Homelab Hero · No. 006
Thursday, 9:40 PM. Your rack UPS fails its self-test and reports a weak battery, with storms forecast for tomorrow. Everything is still running on mains power, your graceful-shutdown setup was tested last month, and no spare battery is on the shelf.
Your call:
A. Run a full discharge test tonight to learn the battery's real runtime
B. Leave the UPS in service, set shutdown to trigger earlier, and order a battery tonight
C. Shut the whole rack down until the replacement battery arrives
