[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 747852, member: 56231"] If I were you, I'd make sure I read the instruction manual before you do anything else. Does the Philips UPS come with its battery full-charged? If not, then you'll have to do that first. Set up the new UPS the same way you did with the APC. You'll need to shut all devices down first, and then, after powering on the UPS, plug them back in and power them on [U]one-at-a-time[/U]. Incidentally, could you not simply replace the APC battery? [I know old UPS units were not designed for user-maintenance.] The reason I ask is because APC are industry leaders in UPS. The batteries are deep-cycle, lead-acid gel type, readily replaceable.
