Re: [Slightly OT Contd...] - UPS Calibration.

["Andy Whitfield" <andywhitfield2002@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 2200 and 2200XL both have one internal battery pack.
The XL can take up to 10-ish additional battery packs (2200 obviously
none).
The old style 2000 and 2000XL had NO internal battery packs.  The
2000 took 1 batery pack and the 2000XL multiple battery packs.
