My UPS pretty much left the world with a poof. Opened the battery compartment to find it swollen and over heated. What's the lifespan on these things? I am gonna call Belkin to see if they can replace the dang thing... prolly end up costing as much as a new UPS. I feel timid running my comp w/out one.
 
I wouldn't use that ups anymore, I would probably move it outside too, I would be afraid of it exploding. I doubt belkin warranties the battery so you would probably be better off buying a new battery from a store/site or buying a new ups.

Yeah, I took out the battery and moved it outside before I went to bed. Gonna go to Fry's and look for another, or get a replacement battery.
