What to do if a battery backup is beeping?
If you’ve lost power, it’s beeping to let you know that the battery is in use, and that you should save your work and shut down your computer. A constant beep (every second or two, and never stopping) generally means the UPS is very low on battery power, and you should shut down immediately.

Jumpstart: Jumper cables and a second battery, battery booster, or second vehicle might be enough to jumpstart the vehicle.

Why does my car beep when I Turn Off the headlights?
The next day the battery will be totally dead. So I jump start it and drive around…and the battery will be fine.
