Is it possible to modify UPS?

This was originally posted on APC forums on 8/29/2011

Hi
By mistake I bought an APC UPS, model BP280SI, and found it closed by overload, because it only allows 280 VA.
I want to know if it can be modified to provide more power, about 450 or 500 VA.
Greetings and thank you.

hi, unfortunately not i dont think. plus, we wouldn't support doing that but i assume all the components are sized for 280VA and it would be better to get a new UPS anyway.
