[BC] Favored UPS units

[Mike McCarthy]

I have some 9125 units scattered about my sites.  They are not the best of 
units, but better than most.  We've suffered failures on some of them. Most 
notably the batteries. Those devices demand a lot from the batteries and 
they drain down the stand alone batteries real fast.  Thus resulting in 
early/pre-mature failure of the batteries.  We employ extended run time 
batteries were we can.  BUT, that drives up the cost real fast.

All of the various UPS's suffers from some problems here and there. And 
since Powerware bought BEST, I've seen a decline in their quality of 
product.  I sure wish they'd come out with a new line of Ferrups devices 
which don't shut down the UPS if the batteries fail.
