   Good morning both,   
      
   ml> we've found it generally cheaper in the long run to just get a new   
   ml> UPS which comes with a warranty because the prices for two or more   
   ml> batteries are so close to the cost of a new unit of the same   
   ml> power... plus, the newer units are generally also better in several   
   ml> ways than the one being replaced...   
      
   Some months ago I found that a replacement battery would cost me 75 euros   
   I looked around and found that a similar stationary battery made in Japan   
   did cost only 25 euros.   
      
   The original battery in my APC UPS lasted 8 years, the next one was a   
   similsr japanese battery to the one that I bought now, it also lasted 8   
   years so I expect that the new one will also last 8 years again.   
      
   Have a nice day,
