1277034	2012-09-15 03:05:00	That's a good run.	mikebartnz (21)
1277035	2012-09-15 04:48:00	I just checked the battery replacement date for the APC UPS for the main computer in our house and it was June 2010, so I guess this one is now over 5 years old. I think my wife's APC battery is older than that.	John H (8)

1277037	2012-09-16 03:51:00	I am having trouble understanding your maths there.:D Um, given that APC usually sets the battery replacement date for 3 years after purchase, my guess is that this UPC was purchased/first installed in June 2007, which is 5 years and a bit ago. If you mean something other than what I took to be self-evident, you are being too obscure for me...	John H (8)

Presumably Mike, like me, did not know that the battery replacement date is three years after purchase ;)	Nick G (16709)
