Does anyone here have any "feel" for the "Battery disconnected" and "Battery reattached" log entries? The rebooting came as a result of me turning off modems, router, external drives, monitor, cordless phone and finally, the computer, trying to locate a quiet but annoying "chirp". The "chirps" stopped when I tilted the UPS to look at the front panel. As you can see, log entries stopped at as suddenly as they started.

Had this happen with my APC UPS late January this year. After contacting APC support and working through their troubleshooting procedures, I ended up with a new UPS since mine was still under warranty.
