Cranky is correct in that I was thinking of Interstate.<br>
I have been in that shop and there is a variety of product - big and
small - in there.<br>
<br>
Caution: Batteries are not, necessarily, interchangeable.<br>
If you do not have battery specs in the docs that came with the UPS
then you have to use the batteries themselves as a reference.<br>
If you can glean manufacturer & type/part number from the ones in
the UPS then a match / cross-reference may be possible.<br>
This is more difficult if the batteries in the UPS are unmarked black
boxes.<br>

<big>I forget the name but there is a battery
(automobile/truck/motorcycle/tow-motor/etc) supplier off Victoria near
the river.<br>
Seeing as they specialize in batteries and the UPS market is now active
- they may be able to help.<br>
<br>
Also: Sayal - on Fountain St.near Toyota.<br>

my 3 wee little CypberPower 425VA UPS' don't have user replaceable

<br>
Seems that a number of the low end UPS' (keep your phone / modem /
switch /router up across a brief power glitch), don't have user
replaceable batteries. Who knew! <br>
<br>
In this case, it seems like user replaceable means separate cover /
compartment where one's fingers can't touch any nasty components and be
shocked when stuck in to wrastle with the battery. <br>
<br>
Of course, take the entire cover off and you're good to go. <br>
<br>
Seems the batteries currently in them are very hard to find (one off
for manufacture / model?), but there's lots of space in there for a
larger battery. This one is 4"x2"x3.5" 'ish. Looks like there's room in
there for something as big as about 5"x3"x3". <br>
<br>
Where can such 12V batteries be purchased in K-W? <br>
<br>
Given UPS and replacement battery prices at CanadaComputers, having to
buy new again to replace seems outrageous <br>
<br>
I'm sort of guessing K-W Surplus unlikely, Orion a possible. <br>
<br>
Others? <br>
