DS>EV>Buying a replacement battery whenever needed was my idea in buying the   
   DS>EV>third UPS five years ago.   
      
   DS>EV>If I had noticed the door on the second UPS I would've got a battery for   
   DS>EV>it instead of buying the third unit.   
      
   DS>  I would hope I can do likewise in mine. The 3 UPS's I have now are HEAVY..   
   DS>weight, but also in protection. However, I'm still going to unplug things wh   
   DS>storms threaten.   
      
   DS>  Speaking of which, there is a severe weather potential here late this week   
   DS>And, in the longer range, one of the models (the GFS in particular), is show   
   DS>a winter storm for the region.   
      
   DS>  Now, the GFS is cold biased, anyway...and anything more than 3 days out,   
   DS>forecast wise, is a "crap shoot", taken with a grain of salt. But, if that   
   DS>forecast still held 2 days out instead of 2 weeks, I'd be concerned.   
      
   DS>  As I've noted before...in Arkansas, if there's either one snowflake, one   
   DS>sleet pellet, one freezing raindrop, or a combination of the above, it's PAN   
   DS>TIME. A local TV meteorologist issues a GROCERY STORE WARNING, and places li   
   DS>Kroger and Wal-Mart get SLAMMED. I don't know which combination sells out   
   DS>first...bread and milk, or beer and toilet paper. :P
