parkut Crunch Addict MVM join:2001-12-15 Clinton Township, MI 1 recommendation	parkut MVM 2012-Nov-30 10:56 am No, the UPS was never part of Foldy inventory, it's just something I do as a matter of course for equipment protection.

Sarah join:2001-01-09 New York, NY	Sarah 2012-Nov-30 11:53 am OK! As though to emphasize the need for such protection, about 40% of my city lost power suddenly yesterday, including our office building. All the computers except the server (which is on a UPS) shut down rather messily. I spent the whole night worrying if everything would boot up in the morning.

(man, those things are heavy when you have to pull them out of the rack...) Oh well, I wanted to replace it with a bigger one anyway, but I was hoping to wait until spring. Time to go shopping around.

jaynick lit up Premium Member join:2001-02-06 Sterling Heights, MI	jaynick to parkut Premium Member 2012-Dec-4 1:19 pm to parkut You guys prompted me to check on mine. I am seeing 118v in and out, used to always show 120v in and out. I wonder if mine is possibly starting to show signs of going?

alphapointe Don't Touch Me MVM join:2002-02-10 Columbia, MO	alphapointe MVM 2012-Dec-4 1:54 pm Nah. Incoming voltage varies all the time. As long as it's between 110 and 125, I don't worry about it. Main thing to worry about is age of the batteries. 2-3 yr lifespan is the norm on the SLA batteries used. Much past that, and you're living on borrowed time.

alphapointe Don't Touch Me MVM join:2002-02-10 Columbia, MO 1 recommendation	alphapointe MVM 2012-Dec-4 2:39 pm Try batteryspec.com . That's where I get mine, and they cost a lot less than the mfgrs charge...
