Re: OT: APC 2200VA Rackmount (3U) Replacement Batteries

["Chris Bond" <chris@xxxxxxx>]

Ive been meaning to make up the monitoring cable for yonks just never
got
round to it - if you get a ups from serversource you'll be fine as
we've
brought them for clients before from there.

The problem is this was brought from laptoplist.com which they'd taken
out
of data centers, mark mccall got one and one of my other mates got 3 of
them.  They havent had any issues with any of them, I guess its just
my bad
luck.  Looks like im looking at 150 cheapest for replacement batteries
too,
lot cheaper than buying the ups though as there 800 new and at the time
I
paid around 100 for it.

Kind Regards,
Chris Bond
