4.0 out of 5 stars APC by Schneider Electric, December 30, 2009

This review is from: APC RBC6 Replacement Battery Cartridge #6 (Electronics)

I just found out that APC was bought my Schneider Electric (like 6 months ago), so when I received this product I thought it wasn't "Genuine APC". I emailed APC and told them about this and they acted like they had never heard of Schneider Electrics. So I returned this product and bought it from a more expensive vendor only to receive the EXACT SAME battery "APC by Schneider Electric". So I call APC up this time only to have the announcement say "Welcome to APC by Schneider Electric". The previous reviews on this site led me to believe this was not a genuine APC product. This battery is a Genuine RBC by APC (or at least the one I received was.) So, yes, buy this product over the ones from other web sites as you'll save a lot of money and receive Genuine APC RBC....

We ordered the APC battery for our old APC 1000 Smart UPS. Price was better than the APC site. It matched our unit fine. It also came with a box and mailing label to return the old one, which is nice. Arrived quickly. No problems ordering. Thanks Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable OEM Battery, October 28, 2009

Nothing too special here, just a replacement battery. I ordered it for my Smart-UPS SU1000. I tend to stick to OEM products (I find them more reliable), and that's what this is. The previous battery in the UPS died after about 5 years of use, and this replacement has worked just fine over the past 6 months.

The battery comes with a free shipping label, to be used to return the old battery for replacement. I was worried about trying to figure out where to recycle the old battery, so the free return label was much appreciated.

Installation is pretty easy. I had to look up online how to open up my UPS, but once I did that, snapping in the new battery was pretty easy. Just disconnect two wires, slide out the old battery, slide in the new battery, and reconnect the two wires.

Oh, and Amazon's free shipping is quite the deal, considering that the battery weighs close to 20 pounds.
