I'm trying to get two old UPS units to work. They were made by Best Electric / Best Power Technologies and apparently, that firm (in Necedah WI) has changed hands at least twice. Entering www.bestpower.com into a browser gets you an immediate redirect to http://www.powerware.com/UPS/BestPower/Products.asp, an Eaton company, which knows nothing at all about these units. I've got a model ME2.1KVA unit that needs four 12V, 35Ah batteries. I think it works, I just can't afford the batteries. Best price I've seen is about $49. The UPS is huge-- about 18 inches front to back, and darn near two feet high. I also have a ME700VA unit that uses the same battery, just one of them. Both have serial ports and lots of dipswitches. Anyone know where to find a manual for these? TIA, Tom ----- 96. [Philosophy] "You are, of course, correct, and I disagree completely." mikeh at netcom.com (Michael F.
