I have a good sized one at work that has quit working because of bad
batterys. I'll see if they will let me snag it. At the treatment plant where
i work we go thru quite a few of them yearly We keep a supply of 6 spares
around for this reason. A lot of them are smaller ups's since they are used
to keep our plc's from getting damaged and also to keep them from resetting
the pump and blower motors. Some have to be turned on manually after a
reset.
