Hi,

I have been doing a lot of reading here trying to come up to speed, since I'm new when it comes to these things.

I have an APC BACK-UPS 1250 which was recently given to me. There were two dead batteries in it, I had the correct batteries for this UPS. When I went to connect them I was very surprised when there was a rather large spark at the battery terminal when the negative cable was connected! I don't remember any of my other UPS units doing this. I plugged it in and pressed the on/test switch. The fan came on and the unit passed the self test. So far, so good....
