Batteries especially. :-( Saving electricity by keeping the cooling season thermostat above 72F several degrees is not without offsetting costs. Besides needing to do laundry more often, I've too often gotten less than 30 months out of battery sets, sometimes not even 22. As many as 36 is unusual. Sometimes they swell so badly they cannot even be removed to be replaced.
That's over charging, not environmental heat. It might be that the charging circuit is poorly matched to the batteries in use, float current too high. A common problem with older UPS designs. But that reminds me.... I should look at my in-house UPSs, its been a while since I tested them and power outage season is upon us. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
