I agree. UPS is not optional equipment. I've replaced the batteries in 5 of the 7 over the years, but have seen 2 UPS die over time where battery wasn't the problem. I did move the really large older ones to my work location and am using the more compact, yet high capacity ones at home.

No major surprises since. I have an APC 1500AV on my computer and another on my Entertainment center. I've had the same UPS's for almost 4 years, but have replaced the batteries in each twice. Wife dislikes the UPS's taking up space, but it is one thing I get to overrule her on. Christopher Fisk -- Alone! I'm alone!
