Power hasn't stabilized yet, and the UPS problems affecting my Home Theatre setup were getting annoying. After it dropped the loads for the second time, last night, after return of power (and while I was trying to watch a recording). I decided that I would take the Geek Squad UPS and put that into play...since the computer it was protecting was a casualty of the power outage.

Odd that it had been running for over a year without a UPS...but died after I got one. Of course, 7 hours without power....not something a UPS made any difference for. And, I did manage to shutdown the computer before the UPS finally tanked.

It was kind of disturbing listening to all the creaking of electronics cooling during the outage....

With the UPS switched out, I decided to pop open the CPS1500AVR-HO and make sure I had the battery details right. Still not sure if I'm going to order replacements or which. Guess its not something Amazon.com has available for Prime delivery, otherwise I would be sitting around at home waiting for its delivery.
