Possibly due to some sort of error in the battery or the charger.
My guess would be that the battery is too old to hold it's charge long...
the other thing I don't recall is what the length of time was that
this battery was spec'ed to hold the memory for.

The batteries are supposed to keep ram intact for
a SHORT duration
power failure...20 seconds might be longer than they would
last..especaially since
they are probably 10 year old batteries.
It's definetly NOT a full ups system.
Ok, when I turn the system on afterwards, all lights -- including the
battery charging light -- flash. I've assumed that this is just a
test. In that case, shouldn't the batteries need recharged, and the
battery light stay on for a while after this? It does not.
