I don't remember which UPS it was, either the crappy one for which a
replacement battery was already waiting to be put in, or the normal one
that already had a new battery in it which is either broken or doesn't
get charged ...
That's how I rather have not everything go dark even when Murphy comes
along. I have generally deprecated all non-rackmount UPSs, and being
able to change batteries without outage has become a requirement.
