Troubleshooting
How can I tell if my battery voltage is getting too low?
Our server will monitor your battery voltage and will trigger an e-mail warning if
it should get critically low (approximately 14 days of power). The e-mail will go to
both the registered customer’s e-mail address as well as the alarm e-mail address
(if one has been set up).
