I used to have a ups, and my electricity bill shot up. After 3 years, I turned it off totally. Did a test to deplete the battery, less than 5 min, it was totally drained. It was connected to my WRT54G router and a 16 port linksys switch. Took out the battery, but kept the chassis in storage in case I plan to use again
Bad batteries probably caused your power bill problems. The charge controller was likely trying to maintain a certain unreachablr voltage and was basically turning the UPS into a small room heater haha.

Probably the electrical fuse at the main distribution board had blown. Town council should be rushing to get it replaced by the licenced electrical worker now.
