I can't tell you how many UPS's I've seen that are supposedly good,

How many let you hot swap a battery? Surely that's a requirement, to be
able to change an aging component, without having to power down the
computer that it's supply. It is supposed to be an *uninterrupted*
power supply.
No, if you want your computer to stay up continuously, get the kind with
dual power supplies and plug them into 2 different UPS's. That way you
can replace one at a time.
But out of the small number of consumer aimed UPSs that I've actually
been able to see, they're virtually a sealed box.
Yes, they serve a purpose, but keeping something running non-stop for 10
years isn't it.
