[TriLUG] UPS Batteries

[Steve Kuekes]

Thanks for the advice.  I actually had two UPS's down.  One wouldn't
power things even with A/C power on it and one didn't work when the 
power failed.  One was a Cyberpower and one was a tripp lite.  I opened 
both up to get the batteries and found the Cyberpower smelled like 
something was burned inside.  The battery had 12+ volts and was cool. 
The tripp lite's battery was warm and had only ~10 volts.  They both 
were the same battery though 7 amp-hour....  I took the good battery and 
put it in the tripp lite and it works fine now.  I think the Cyberpower 
is smoked.  I guess it did its job and kept some of my computers from 
going up.  Well two dead gets one alive for $0.  Not bad.

Thanks for the help.
