If you have never replaced the batteries in a 12 year old APC unit I'd guarantee that they are knackered!

I'd suggest replacing the battery(s) first.

Weaver:
understood, I had no idea about longevity

Any solid recommendations then folks?

I'd stop using it immediately, unless you've got the right PPE to deal with a leaking battery.

What model is the existing UPS?

petef:
This is slightly off topic but I asked a while ago if broadband would still work in a power cut. There is little point in getting a UPS for your modem if it has nothing to talk to.

The perceived wisdom was that the cabinets would be good for about 4 hours on their battery backup.
