   The first UPS I bought didn't have the option to replace the battery in it,   
   so I bought another one when it quit working.   
      
   When the second unit quit I got one a little larger in capacity that the   
   battery could be replaced when the battery failed.   
      
   I wouldn't think there would be much inprovement in a newer UPS of the   
   same size as mine. Enlighten Me because I don't know it all.  Thanks.   
      
   Yesterday I looked in my junk pile for the two old UPS's and I saw that   
   the second UPS DID have a door to replace the battery in it.  DUH!!!!!!!   
      
   It took me five years to learn that door was on the back of it.   
   Guess I will never become Mr. Know It All if I keep doing things that way.   
      
   I will look at the specs. for the one I'm using to see if the same size UPS   
   has different specs., Thanks!   
      
      
   ... Have you checked your smoke detector batteries & Fire Ext, LATELY?!
