Unfortunately, I have three failed UPS where the battery de-gassed(?) and would require minor surgery to remove from said UPS. That leaves me with two UPS that may or may not work. Buggers.

Are you sure it's going to be that hard? I've done a few swaps, even on cheap $30 units, and the batteries are just on QDs. Open the case, pull the QDs, swap the battery if you can find the right replacement.

Be a lot easier if you did...

I think he's doing it right. For online games and all the other stuff consoles can do now, like media servers and Netflix, wired is better.
To the original poster, I suggest doing at least one spare while you have the wall open. I ended up doing 3 and used them all (Wii, PS3 and PC by the television).

And those are the installers that don't stay in business long. They're probably the same ones that convince customers that "sure, you don't need patch cords, we'll just crimp the ends on..." :banghead:
If someones done a job for you and you let them get away with leaving the faceplates hanging in the breeze, well, shame on ya. My customers demand (and deserve) better.

Uh... yes. I've had it happen before. ::) The battery expands and splits the outer shell of the battery, effectively wedging the battery inside the UPS. Either I destroy the battery and mess with whatever wants to come out or disassemble the UPS until I can get to the battery and remove it. Disassembling the UPS also lets me inspect the PCB inside.

You're assuming I paid for it.
