CyberPower UPS Failed in Power Outage

[S. Pupp]

My sole APC UPS recently gave its “battery has expired” scream. I looked in the instruction manual for the type of battery needed. The manual says the battery is not replaceable, and the unit must be discarded. I tried to disassemble the thing to find out what battery it needs, only to find that its screws seem largely to be for decoration - the blasted device is welded shut. I got the answer in the end, but I’m not going to go to the effort of melting the plastic case back together.

We are now an APC free home. Only Cyberpower can be found here.
