In SoCal, I only recall 1 external event which caused battery intervention (other than the internal test every 2 weeks of use). However, here in NW Georgia, all my UPS's have seen numerous external events since 2004 that required battery intervention. Several of these were very early morning (nap-time) that did almost fully deplete the batteries. So far, no lost equipment! So, I'll be happy with a 3yr replacement cycle for now; but, I will switch to Yuasa batteries!
