I unplugged the unit and let it run on battery all day while I was in town. Then I plugged in the UPS and its internal charger did its thing until the next day and I tested the current with a big amp meter I got from an auto sourse store and it was fully charged in less than 24 hrs. It was not fully discharged by the way even when the battery ran the 2 servers for the 9 hours.
