Matthew's Journal

A while ago, I acquired an APC Smart-UPS 1000 (from a clear-out at my Dad's office, IIRC). At that time, I needed a new battery, which I got Hardware Support at Cambridge to do for a very reasonable sum. I appreciated its value again today, when the plumber accidentally tripped the circuit-breaker; I was able to shut ming down cleanly.

Sadly, the battery is going to need replacing soon, I think - the last few weeks it's had the "replace battery" light on nearly all the time (although turning it off and then on again makes it seem happy for a day or so). Annoyingly, while we have a spare USP (an APC Smart-UPS 750XL, which I think is a newer but less potent model), it is also in need of a new battery.

My question is - how should I go about getting the battery replaced? There isn't a convenient Hardware Support group here I can ask...
