[Hidden-tech] Uninterruptable Power Supply

[Jan Werner]

If it is not holding a charge, you probably need a new battery. You can 
get replacement batteries for most major brands from the manufacturer or 
third party batteries (just as good in my experience) for much less from 
a number of online vendors.

If you want a new or better UPS, I suggest getting one with Automatic 
Voltage Regulation (AVR) because it will provide far better protection 
from spikes and brown-outs than a plain UPS. AVR UPS systems cost more, 
but are well worth it, IMHO, particularly if you are located in a rural 
area. where power levels can fluctuate a lot.
