@Dave Mcguire. Thanks for the tip on where to buy replacement batteries.
As far as I know APC is the most recommended brand. I see others are using Panasonic. I'm curious to know which brands everyone recommends or discourages?
I echo kudos to @Dave Mcquire. I have a APC SU1400NET and SU2200NET here that are in need of batteries, but I'd put off buying them because I thought it might be best to just buy a new unit. refurbups has nice prices and it looks like a cool deal on a APC SUA750 ($99) that is hard to beat (CyberPower 750 UPS does not run for as long and is 73 at the cheapest I could find) Finishing an order now. I'm not a UPS guru by any means, but these Smart UPS units I have have been tanks. Moved 3 times, I replaced the batteries once (easy to do), and are easy to disassemble for cleaning/repair. They are built like a tank, too, so I guess that figures (they have a slot for Ethernet control and such, and I see cards are $15.00 or so on eBay). Jim
