Re: UPS

[Wayne McAlpine <wmcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have used a Best Power 18kva model since 1990 and we're now on our 
fourth set of batteries.  The batteries may be billed as having a life 
of five years, but we've never gotten more than three years from a set. 
 My advice: get new batteries and get a service contract on the UPS. 
The techncian should come out at least once a year and load test the 
batteries to be sure they're up to full strength.
