</div>*shrug* When I priced it, the replacement battery was around 75% what I<br>
could get an equivalent new unit for. I don't remember how/where I<br>
priced it but I do know I got the new UPS units on sale. YMMV, I just<br>
found it more cost efficient to replace an old UPS than replace only an<br>
old UPS battery.<br>
