Weak Battery Options

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had my system "spontaneously" IPL a couple of time over the last 
couple of days.  Looking at the job log I see a CPI0979 notifying me 
that " The system was previously powered down because utility
power failed and the battery weak condition was detected."  Yeah.  
Failed for like, a nanosecond.  A power "flicker" shouldn't cause the 
system to panic and shut down just because the batteries are weak, 
should it?  I would guess the system would run a couple of minutes on 
the UPS even on weak batteries, before it gave up the ghost.

Is there any place to tell this old 270 to hold it's horses on shutting 
down for at least a few seconds before deciding to shut down if the 
power flickers off for a heartbeat of time?  We have been hovering 
around 100 degrees lately here in Salt Lake and I expect brownouts and 
flickers are going to be commonplace.

Or, should I just buy some new batteries so old "nervous Nellie" won't 
panic when the power fluctuates?

Thanks
