Michael, They say UPS's are good for about 3 years max. I've often used them for longer though.
When I checked getting a new battery it seemed the battery cost as much (with shipping) as just buying a new APC. You can try a new battery, I'd be interested in your experience. Could the replace battery light be burned out? Just a wild guess. I may have had a flaky one, I don't quite remember. One that seemed to come and go. It was ancient, I replaced it altogether. Good luck! On Apr 30, 2010, at 10:30 PM, Michael G.M. wrote:
Recently the power to my wife's Mac has been simply going out at random odd times. When I check the APC UPS it's OFF(?) -It's not using the APC software or attached via USB for it to be software related.
