Any UPS should have batteries that last years if all you get are short

I see a definite correlation with battery replacements being more
frequent on my cheap vs. 'good' UPSs.

When my home flooded with 3' water in 2001 at 1AM, the first thing I did
was wade through water to cut off the electricity.

Prudent thing to do ... but tell that to the four, submerged, UPS' that
immediately kicked in.
