Because I liked this unit so much I just bought a Minuteman Pro 700 UPS,
hopefully it will impress me just as much as it's older brother did when it
was alive and well. :)

Thanks for the feedback guys. No more APC ups units for me.

&gt; this evening I am going to get my voltmeter out and test my old batteries
&gt; and then test my &quot;new batteries&quot; to see how much juice they have. I may have
&gt; to borrow my father's lawn mower battery charger so I can charge them up to
&gt; see how much charge they will hold. I'm fairly certain that my APC Smart-UPS
&gt; 1000 is shot though.

&gt; &gt; Those &quot;brand new&quot; batteries off of ebay are worn out. Go to Batteries
&gt; &gt; Plus and buy really brand new ones. Take both sets of your old one back
&gt; &gt; to them. They will handle the recycling of them (the batteries are taken
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; apart and the lead is extracted and made into more batteries.)
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; One of the biggest scams on EBay is &quot;new&quot; batteries for power supplies.
&gt; &gt; The only way to tell is to do some serious charging circuit monitoring
&gt; &gt; with manufacturing specs to compare with.
