[rescue] [Slightly OT] Smart-UPS 1400 Battery replacement

[James Fogg]

Well.. what I would do is take apart the battery pack and remove what cells are
in there. Match the cells for type (gells usually), voltage and physical size
at a battery store or online and replace them. You should be fine.

I had a Best ferro ups that needed a battery (single 12V gell). Best wanted
$220.00. A local battery dealer wanted $95.00 for an equivalent battery.
