Good morning both,

ml> we've found it generally cheaper in the long run to just get a new
ml> UPS which comes with a warranty because the prices for two or more
ml> batteries are so close to the cost of a new unit of the same
ml> power... plus, the newer units are generally also better in several
ml> ways than the one being replaced...

Some months ago I found that a replacement battery would cost me 75 euros
I looked around and found that a similar stationary battery made in Japan
did cost only 25 euros.

The original battery in my APC UPS lasted 8 years, the next one was a
similsr japanese battery to the one that I bought now, it also lasted 8
years so I expect that the new one will also last 8 years again.

Have a nice day,

Holger
