TW> That reminds me of whan i worked in hte engineering Department of the   
   TW> Local VA Medical center. We topped off any spare batteries on the   
   TW> charger every three months. And any Batteries in use in Critical Patient   
   TW> care devices was Test Discharged and Recharged every three months   
      
   We have hundreds of APC UPS units at my work that support network gear all   
   over the place.  Many of them are APC UPS 5000 units.  All are monitored via   
   SNMP and when a battery has an issue, someone has to replace them.     
      
   It is almost a constant process since we have so many of them.
