Re: [Avid-L2] UPS Blues "Connect Battery Error?"

John, 

I think I've already mentioned it, but if not, I've been using the Batteries + Bulbs franchise in Culver City for UPS batteries for a couple years.  They give me a 'corporate customer' discount, and it's pretty significant.  They also take the old batteries for recycling.  My UPS batteries have been lasting 3-4 years and are always on.  Now that I'm working from home I only have 3 units still in use - but the voltage here is pretty varied - so I often hear the UPS boosting or limiting.

I found the price of $16 per battery very low.  I'm pretty sure I've paid something like $25 plus at Fry's for replacement batteries that weren't that good.  When it comes to the car batteries they have a decent warranty until you actually try to use it and their warranty shops go out of their way to be out of stock of the model you need.  They can't suggest just buying a new battery but they told me that it would be 2 to 3 days to get a warranty replacement battery.  That happened at three of their warranty licensed shops but when I went back to my car mechanic who installed the battery originally they had a replacement within an hour.  Still great to know where to go for UPS replacements at such a good price and thanks for the contact info off list.
