I had bought this battery for my user-replaceable APC brand of UPS.
The battery did not last very long at all - my best guess is that these batteries do not move as quickly as others and that they may not be fresh when obtained.
I have since had much, much better results by using the services of one of the many large online battery companies that offer "SLA" ("sealed lead acid") batteries. Most of these companies now offer an interactive display where one will enter in the model number of APC brand UPS that they have and the correct battery replacement will be suggested.

I ordered this battery believing it would be cheaper than buying a whole new UPS. If it had worked correctly it would have been but it is DOA out of the box. I replaced the old battery with this one, let it charge overnight and now when turning the UPS on, it still says replace battery. And I can't return it due to the return policy which is BS...you can ship the device but you can't take a return.

I had just had a conversation with a friend remarking how long this battery had lasted when it failed: at least 5 years, maybe 6-7. I thought about buying a new unit, but this seemed like such a much cheaper deal that it would be worth it. The new battery snapped into place and I used the enclosed postage sticker to send the old one back for recycling. It was a snap. This is the real value of the APC equipment: it lasts a long time.
