Today I fought clear of building my gliding club's duty rosters (an all-
week job) for long enough to hit my local B&Q for a TORX key set. Just
tried it on the Riello UPS: T8 fits the case retention screws as
expected. Will get into UPS battery replacement as time permits: no
rush as currently my house server is up and running directly from the
mains.

Following up: yesterday I opened the Riello's case: the TORX T8 tool did
the job easily. The internals are neatly laid out with a lengthways metal partition, batteries on one side and a PCB on the other. Slightly to my surprise thare are no large transformers or particularly large capacitors inside.

The old batteries came out easily enough, and show sign of bulging, case deformation, or leakage.

The replacements went in equally easily.

I've run it very briefly with no obvious problems shown.

Further use awaits the purchase of more cabling since I've decided to
rearrange the wiring and position of stuff under my computer bench: while
doing that I found I need a manins-'extension, a double ended IEC cable
with C13 and C14 connectors.

When I renewed the batteries in my old APC UPSs, I had to run the test
program to update the run-time variable.
