The APC UPS we still have left is a smallish SmartUPS. I exchanged the battery a couple of months ago. UPS still working fine as far as I can tell. Guess you're right, I'll stay away from the BackUPS-range, if we ever buy APC again. 8-/ Reason for getting BackUPS at all, was that I got more VA's for the buck. The funding I had at the time was very low. Didn't pay off in the long run, which I pointed out to my boss... ;-)
