+1 IME, the [APC] UPSes rarely have issues. They either work or they don't. If they don't, 99% of the time it is the battery. The other 1% of the time, the UPS is old enough it should be replaced anyway, and is likely incapable of carrying the load of the newer PC...

Hello Adam, hope it's not too late to reply... At my dayjob we use the services of Costal Business Machines. They ship an empty box for the UPS with a return label. We ship it and in a week or so it's returned with a new battery. Additionally they test the rest of the components and replace whatever else is necessary. It's then under warranty for a year. The cost is fractional compared to a new device and it's nice to know the entire UPS is under warranty, not just the battery."
