   That was a long time ago.   
   After that happened I quit using power from that outlet except for the   
   room lamp, and routed a extension cable from the UPS to that gear.   
      
   Most of my computer gear gets power from that UPS.   
      
   The battery in the one I have now can be replaced.   
      
   My first two units didn't have a door on them to do that.   
   So After the second one died I spent a little more to get a UPS with   
   a replaceable battery.   
      
   Tripp-Lite is the brand I like to buy.
