I left the unit in the garage, plugged in and therefore charging for a couple of days, to give it time to outgas (or explode?) if that would make a difference. Then I brought it back into my office space. No more beeps from the smoke detector since then. I hadn't mentioned this before but it no longer seems to provoke my wife's asthma symptoms either. Thanks to everyone who offered help! | |

Usually, as lead-acid batteries age, they lose the ability to hold a full charge, but do not release fumes. Just replace the UPS with another. For your use, an inexpensive unit, less then US$50, should suffice. | |
