[BC] UPS hell

[Mark Humphrey]

I've been using refurbups.com in Suffern, NY as a source of
replacement batteries.  Just replaced a set of 12V/7A SLA in an APC
1250 VA unit and the price was $38/ pair.   Ordering information:

As the company name suggests, they also sell reconditioned UPS gear.

FWIW, they're rated highly:
