Anyone having problems with APC UPSes connected via USB cable?
Randomly, but more often after a BIOS upgrade, the connection will flap, no matter if using USB2 or 3 on the back I/O.
If using the Windows built-in power management, the PC will just shutdown thinking the battery is critical, even though it is full.
Switched to apcupsd for Windows and the UPS monitor also flaps between Online and battery low.
A quick cable unplug/plug back will usually fix it.
