Last night my internet died. After contacting Spectrum I discovered the problem was a dead battery in my UPS.
Apparently the battery isn't available. It claims to be 2.9ah, but it is physically the same size as 1.3ah batteries; 3ah batteries are twice the size.
I have three options...
1) Get a 1.3ah battery for $20.
2) Get a 3ah battery for $20, and remove break off some plastic parts inside the UPS that restrict the size battery that will fit in. (I think I can do it without damaging anything)
3) Get a new UPS for $60.
I only need the UPS to cover the numerous outages of a few seconds we have; after 25 seconds my generator kicks in. I would expect a 1.3ah battery could do that for just my modem and router.
#1 is easiest, but it seems wrong to pay the same price for a 1.3ah battery as for a 3ah battery.
What would you do?
