It seems that the UPS makers must rely on battery sales for their livelihood,
given the number of discards I find. And, they have virtually *no* recycle
value (batteries are ~20c/lb and the rest of the unit is worth < $5 for the
minimal electronics, transformer and steel case)
Some units kill batteries faster than others.
It happens when they leave them permanently charging, theoretically to 100%. Others fully stop the charger and leave the battery alone for hours. With this method, unless there are mains failures, the battery last 5 years instead of 2.
