At this point you should write down the model number and google it. Find
the manufacturer's website and grab the manual for your particular model.
Since the manufacturer decides what the beeps indicate, the only way you
will figure it out is if
A) the device exposes human readable diagnostic information.
B) you find out by Reading The Friendly Manual.
C) you find someone with the same exact model who happens to know the
answer.
For all I know, that beep could indicate some internal maintenance timer.
You should look into obtaining a list of all diagnostic codes for your
device since the purpose of a backup battery unit is to avoid unexpected
failures. This makes for a good excuse to do some preemptive research.
