You can swap the PS in any cisco box, on some models you don't even
need a screw driver.
As someone already pointed out, it takes half the components to do
UPS -48V than UPS 110V/230V.
Where I live the comercial power is more reliable than the small
UPS boxes, so the lesson is, UPS'es has to come in pairs..
