Re: OT: APC 2200VA Rackmount (3U) Replacement Batteries

["Simon Coates" <ecolume@xxxxxxx>]

Chris,

I recently bought 2 APC 3000 rack mount UPS from www.serversource.co.uk
(Midland Computers) got a really good deal on them.  They are Dell
branded
ones (brand new returns etc...)
When I got mine they had hundreds of UPSs in stock.  Some returns
might be
damaged - so they might sell you the batteries.
If you ring them ask for the technical dept, as they know what spare
bits
and pieces they've got.
Might be worth a try?

Regards

Simon
