Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Ups now passes self-test, passes the unplug the ups input power test [keeps running], and now the ups seems to behave like new. This one is about 1/2 inch thicker then the old battery.

Cons

After installing this new battery, at startup i see the same message, battery needs to be replaced. It is only 8 months and it is sounding the alarm that failure is near. It supposedly is guaranteed by apc for one year.

There wasnt anything wrong with the battery

Price

Easy to install so cost saved again as much to replace battery and not the entire unit

That is reasonable battery life but the price has become outrageous

Amazons price was the best by a few dollars

Shipping

Drawback is no return shipping label provided so i have to take the old battery to a recycling center

The same type of batteries sell for 25 more in ace and other local hardware stores so wiyh free shipping

Competitiveness

A lot cheaper than buying a new ups

Amazon sold the battery for less than other suppliers

Original oem batteries lasted about 4 years cheap offbrand replacements barely lasted 3
