I can't answer the question you did ask, but I can answer one you 
didn't.  I've been very pleased with the prices and service from 
http://www.refurbups.com/.  With their prices you can get much more UPS 
for less money, rendering an exact calculation of needs less important.

I have no connection to the company except as a satisfied customer.

Also, I *have* a big UPS from them, but my outage was ~3 hours, which 
was about 2 hours too long. :-(  Now I have to try and talk my wife into 
a backup generator...  Wish me luck...

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
