Old UPSs

[Tom Peters]

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
