The APC UPS we still have left is a smallish SmartUPS. I exchanged the battery
a couple of months ago. UPS still working fine as far as I can tell. Guess

Reason for getting BackUPS at all, was that I got more VA's for the buck. The
funding I had at the time was very low. Didn't pay off in the long run, which
I pointed out to my boss... ;-)
