The XL line is different from the regular SmartUPS line, so we'd need SmartUPS XL data points to be sure.

If a vendor doesn't sell spare batteries nor tells you where to get them (they often are sealed car or motorbike batteries), I'd stay the hell away from them. That means they sell disposable trash IMO. > - how good is the battery backup at the "data centers" Very good, if they deserve the name. A data-center UPS system includes a fuel-based power generator, no matter how small or big the data-center. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
