I've been leaving my UPS (APC Back-UPS 1000 RS) on 24/7, but now I'm wondering if I should be turning it off when I shut down my PC for the night. Does turning it off and on place any extra stress on the battery?
Do you leave your UPS on 24/7?

16/7 Almost any Windows problem is fixed by a reset so why not? Machine is good for 24/7 but OS luvs reset.

Realistically it probably won't extend the life of the battery at all. One might argue that it would actually decrease the life of the battery because the UPS runs a self test every time it is turned on. Personally I leave mine on 24/7 unless I won't be home for a few days.

I turn the monitor off when not in use.

If I'm gone on vacation or whatever, the UPS will shutdown anyway depending on the parameters that I've set it for due to an extended power outage.
