[Lancaster] Lancaster Digest, Vol 316, Issue 1

[Barry Kaye]

Hi Jonathon,

My experience is a bit old - so I won't give any models - but bear in mind
that you will need to maintain your UPS - it is very messy extracting blown
batteries out of the damn things after they've been left for a couple of
years on standby (they also fail to provide any backup power in this
condition...)
