The original batteries finally gave up in September 2015, a fresh set (RBC 24) were ordered and fitted a week later. Tip - you can reuse the battery tray, you only need order the actual lead acid batteries (x4). | |||

As of 2019 Derrick is still functional and is in the server rack as it's UPS. Maintenance is expected to be required within the next year or a replacement will have to be found. As part of the computing update 2019 / 2020 Derrick may be replaced when the server stack is altered and replaced with VMs. At time of writing, the 2019 /2020 computing update hasn't happened yet and so Derrick's fate is unknown. | |||
