Highlights

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

Quality

Works great , easy to install and holds up to the test of time.

Easy to install and seems to be working fine.

The c1500 does a battery test upon installation and that failed the first try because the battery wasn't fully charged.

The unit started up with zero problems after i let it recharged for 6 hours.

Price

I saved $50 over buying new batteries.

If you want to settle for a generic battery, you can get one at half this price.

Less $$ than trying to by direct from apc which, apparently is no longer even a option.

It's cheaper than buying a whole new unit and install was easy.

Shipping

The battery pack was delivered on time and in good condition.

Genuine apc battery, fast delivery to hawaii even.

It came quickly and took only minutes to install.

Mine also came already charged, so the ups showed they were ready to go after i powered it on.

Packaging/appearance

Keep all the original packing material and go to apc website to get your ups label.

The replacement batter arrived in very good condition and restored the function of my apc smart-ups 1000.

Received the new batteries in an official apc box with excellent padding and return instructions for recycling of old batteries.

This apc ups battery replacement set looked brand new and was shipped in original packaging.

Competitiveness

Very happy with my purchase, the cheaper chinese batteries are of much lower quality than these apc branded products.

This battery was about 40% less that buying from apc or newegg.

This is longer than any other brand of batteries and fairly typical of my experience with apc batteries in upss.

Even though the apc brand batteries are a rip-off, they last much longer that the cheaper knock-offs.
