Hi Chad,

Thanks for answering.  I looked at the Powerware UPS's.   I couldn't 
make a decision from the information on the web site so I called them.  
Tech support wasn't sure of a number of questions so I gave up on 
them.  What model did you get?  Did you get one or more EBM's  
(External Battery Module)

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
