What might lead to the UPS emitting a burnt crisp odor? The internal components could be damaged. Disconnect the UPS from your system and have a qualified electrician examine it, possibly replacing the battery to fix the issue.

I will take it to the computer lab on Thursday to check what occurred. He knows how to open the UPS and replace the batteries inside it.

I wouldn't try to work with that device.
If the batteries were low, you'd still have to swap them out.
