"Percival P. Cassidy" <Nobody@NotMyISP.net>: Jan 13 09:15PM -0500 I have an APC Back-UPS ES 750 to which I have plugged in my PVR (a not particularly high-powered computer, and with only one HD). It is not indicating that the battery is dead and needs replacing, but whenever the power goes off, even for just a second or two, the UPS indicates that it is overloaded (no indicator lights, and continuous sound).   Is it worth replacing the battery just in case, or is this thing ready for the recyclers?   Perce

Whether or not that will cure things, <shrug> no way for me to say. The battery is the most likely thing to be failing, but without a whole lot more information than you're likely going to be able to give online, there's no way to be certain that's truly the problem.   If you can get your hands on a battery cheap, it's worth trying.

If it is ten years or more old, and you need a UPS, just buy an APS replacement battery. They recycle the old one for you...

The battery is a standard 12V, 9Ah battery. The latest 'real' APC battery is a Kung Long WP9- 125HR. I have also seen a CSB brand HR1234WF2.   Basically, it's a roughly 5.94x2.56x3.72 battery with .250 (1/4 inch) terminals. Be aware that Amazon or others may link some of those part numbers to other 'similar' batteries. Major names are CSB, PowerSonic.   Mouser Electronics has a genuine CSB for about $27.44.   -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

If > not...   Ditch the Back-UPS and get a Smart-UPS off eBay--they're much easier on batteries. I collect the rebadged ones (IBM 750T) and stick Powersonic batteries in them. I have four running at the moment.   Cheers   Phil Hobbs   -- Dr Philip C D Hobbs Principal Consultant ElectroOptical Innovations LLC Optics, Electro-optics, Photonics, Analog Electronics   160 North State Road #203 Briarcliff Manor NY 10510   hobbs at electrooptical dot net http://electrooptical.net

mtfoley41@gmail.com: Jan 13 02:15PM -0800 There are 2023,2032 and 2025 batteries. My blood test meter calls for 2023. Don't know if the others will work equally well even though they are the same diameter.

My blood test meter calls for 2023. Don't know if the others will work equally well even though they are the same diameter.   First two digits are the width of the cell in MM, last two digits are the thickness in fractional MM>   2023 = 20mm x 2.3 mm thick.   2032 = 20mm x 3.2 mm thick.   the voltages are the same in all, the thicker cells last longer and provide more current if needed.   you should be able to use the 2032 cell if it isn't too thick to close the cover.

"Newgene McMensa" <newgene.mcmensaREMOVE@gREMOVEmail.com>: Jan 13 07:49PM -0800 Howdy folks, bin a while scents I posted. I'm busy hiding out lately from the lovely Miseries on account of she has gone hog wild with her honey do list these days.   Just ran across this and figured it might be something fun to watch. Their last launch blew up on the pad. The webcast link has a good press release that gives good details each step from an hour before the countdown until the satellites are deployed. Kind of like watching the Rose Parade with a program.   Anyway, it's OT and just for fun.   The Former Snuffy
