Saturday I was riding by so stopped into work to see why one of the UPSes said bad battery, and hopefully stop the pages for the weekend. I'm glad I did, because it was also complaining about the internal temperature being over limit, and the bad battery was expanding. The problem battery was immediately apparent when I ran my hand past it, as it was significantly hotter than the other batteries. Unfortunately it expanded too much and won't come out, but luckily comes out far enough to disconnect from the system. I'll maybe post better/more photos once we figure out how to best remove it from the UPS.
No it didn't. Although after inspecting the latching mechanism on another battery, Nick applied sufficient force and momentum for it to come out.
I did get out riding this weekend a bit. I'm thinking I'm going to try some more later this week if the weather is good.
To quote a band "we don't need no water let the .... .... burn" ?
Good save on your part Jeremy.
I don't think they would have been too happy with the roof being on fire.
Next time leave it... so we can test out the new Halon alternative fire extinguisher system (I think it will be ready in a week or so).
OK, if you're willing to deal with starting everything up after the fire supression system activates the EPO.

Did it shrink now that it has been connected from the system?
"I was riding by..." Does this mean you've been out riding the motorbike finally? I just crossed the 2000 mile mark this weekend. We need to get a crew together and go riding soon.
