[Nut-upsuser] compaq r3000 triggering the fuse when power is reconnected

[Per Jessen]

All,

I have a fairly old Compaq R3000h which is overdue for new batteries. 
Before I go and splash out a few hundred francs, I'd just need a quick
sanity check - 
when I disconnect the power (UPS under load), it cuts out pretty much
right away, so the batteries are flat (even though the charge indicator
says full).  When I reconnect the power, the surge triggers a 16A mains
fuse.  This sounds to me to be due to the batteries being completely
flat and thereby causing a major surge on startup?  Sounds reasonable?
