One thing to make the batteries last longer, is to 'cycle' them once in a while.
By that I mean, to actually simulate a power failure and let them (almost) run down with the 'normal' expected load on them. Expect 4-5 years depending upon quality and full load simulated during the 'cycles'. Some I remember actually had smart monitoring, so upon a power failure, they would automatically shut down the PC's when the voltage became critical. These were serial port connections and presumably had some software running on the PC(s) that would receive the signal and do the business. Guess they might be USB now, if they exist.... Cheers, Neil.
