Wow, I personally own two big units including one that takes multiple external battery packs, it's designed for long run times (better cooling etc) and I've sold hundreds of them over the years from all across their range. I have repaired several of what I deem lesser brands too over the years. I have pics of the insides of some of these including evidence of vaporized PCB tracks etc. The only time I ever had to open APC UPS were to change batteries. As I said YMMV.
