This battery pack boosts back up time substantially. The documentation that comes with the battery pack says that you should use the included 3.5" "floppy" disk to load a MS-DOS (pre-Windows) program to tell your XL series UPS that it has an additional battery pack attached. I had no computer with a floppy disk drive and have not used MS DOS since the 1980's. APC support directed me to a FTP Internet download version of the MS DOS program. What I discoverd on my own is that the Business Edition of the UPS Powerchute that comes with XL series UPS's has the ability to set the number of battery packs. Why hide the best method of configuring the battery pack and force customers to use an ancient process to do the same thing?
