Wil,
Thanks. I suspected that they were under-specified. I noticed on the APC
Web site that one can buy a replacement battery of greater capacity, but
they don't indicate by how much.
I think there's a battery place on Belmont around 37th or so. Do you know
if they carry replacement batteries? I found a Web-based vendor that sells a
replacement for $31 (plus shipping) but I'd rather buy locally if possible.
