We had a gecko that had moved into the beam housing near our pool. Set it off a few times and there was never anything on the cameras. Call the tech people in and used silicon to close the opening. So we evicted a gecko

At the Lab they are getting fed up with having to change the UPS batteries so often. I currently have two of these on test and it's looking good so far.
They are a direct drop in replacements that work with the normal lead acid chargers.
BATT 13V8 LI-ION BLN
Bluenova Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Rechargeable Battery, OPV Range:11.6V~14.4VDC, Over-Current Prot:24~36A, Over Voltage Cut-out:15.6V, Under-Voltage Cut-out:10.0V, Charge Current:7.2A Continuous, BMS, Efficiency 96-99%@C1, (150X65x95mm), IP56, 1.3Kg Overview Features Ultra-safe Lithium...www.communica.co.za
In testing it kept a computer (old I5) and a 20 inch screen, streaming DSTV, alive for over an hour and a half, I stopped it because the UPS was getting hot.
What’s the wizardry that makes it a drop in replacement for lead acid?
That could very well sort out my alarm.

Apparently the BMS, there was some discussion (I forget where I read it) where it was raised that lead acid chargers don't reach high enough voltages to bring them to 100%, but that was countered by some saying that keeping the battery at 70-80% or thereabouts would give longer life.
I am seeing good results so far.
