Very feature-full, for its low price point (e.g. bypass mode for replacing batteries without turning everything off, and that in a several-years old UPS). When batteries needed replacing, I couldn't find anybody selling MGE batteries. I started to call the importers directly. One country's importer (NL) told me that the batteries were not available anymore, another country's importer (BE) told me that the exact battery type was not available anymore, but they had very similar ones that would be 3mm too big to fit, and thus I wouldn't be able to cleanly close the cover anymore, but they would ship a "velcro" tape pieces so that I can have the cover not fall off. I bought these batteries from them: - they fit just as well as the original ones - they were actually a very, very standard model from ... Panasonic? (not sure anymore) that can be had for much cheaper at many online shops, and also in "clone" form from other reputable battery manufacturers (Sanyo? Not sure anymore). -- Lionel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
