Thanks James,

I'll probably get some before then though as the UPS alarm is quite
annoyin=

I replaced one of mine last year with a "much-cheaper-than-APC"
battery,
but I'm moving next week and most of my paperwork is all packed up, so
I can't tell you where I got it from.  If you remind me towards the
tail end of next week I might well be able to find out though.
