Ed,


EV>Buying a replacement battery whenever needed was my idea in buying the
EV>third UPS five years ago.

EV>If I had noticed the door on the second UPS I would've got a battery for
EV>it instead of buying the third unit.

  I would hope I can do likewise in mine. The 3 UPS's I have now are HEAVY...in
 weight, but also in protection. However, I'm still going to unplug things when
 storms threaten.

  Speaking of which, there is a severe weather potential here late this week.
And, in the longer range, one of the models (the GFS in particular), is showing
 a winter storm for the region.

  Now, the GFS is cold biased, anyway...and anything more than 3 days out,
forecast wise, is a "crap shoot", taken with a grain of salt. But, if that
forecast still held 2 days out instead of 2 weeks, I'd be concerned.

  As I've noted before...in Arkansas, if there's either one snowflake, one
sleet pellet, one freezing raindrop, or a combination of the above, it's PANIC
TIME. A local TV meteorologist issues a GROCERY STORE WARNING, and places like
Kroger and Wal-Mart get SLAMMED. I don't know which combination sells out
first...bread and milk, or beer and toilet paper. 

EV>I learn as I live.

  Don't we all.

Daryl
