Thanks Zack, the pinnacle of my career was graduating in Meccano.
I guess I can get the battery stats from the web, can the batteries be recharged if need be?

** LOL !!** The UPS will ( attempt to) charge the batteries when in bypass mode - ie normal operation with AC power available.
Just try the thing out doing what it is meant to do.
Give it time to top the batteries up, a few hours maybe..
