3.0 out of 5 stars Not a genuine APC Battery !, June 29, 2011

Even though the picture, and all of the descriptions refer to a genuine APC battery, I was sent an "ABC" battery instead. While it is fully compatible with the Back UPS, it is very misleading. In addition, you don't get a pre-paid return label to ship the used one back for recycling. Instead, you get a note telling you where you can send it, and that there is a charge for UPS to ship it back. The price is about $6.00 less than a genuine one directly from APC's website. And for the extra $6.00 bucks, you get the pre-paid return label. So the overall cost is about the same. I guess the real test is in how long this "knock off" battery will actually last. The real "APC" one lasted around 3 years. Only time will tell. But knowing this one isn't the real thing, I would NOT have bought it. But it may turn out to be fine in the long run. Who knows??? I guess it all depends on how you feel about purchasing "knock off's" with an unknown quality.

Battery looked used, not new. They were scuffs and scratches on the case, the labels that had APC on it had turned yellow. Will not hold a charge. Buy from a reputable vendor like newegg.com or cdw.com.
I new the price was to good to be true.

Like Alan in yesterday's review I was also sent an ABC, American Battery Company, battery and NOT an APC, American Power Conversion, Battery. Not only that but the interior package, which had been opened and resealed, was from Ingram Micro to Amazon. This is a misleading description and photo.

You cannot return batteries but Amazon is sending me a replacement battery, hopefully an APC battery, at no extra charge. Because of the holiday it will be a week. They are letting me keep the knockoff.

I cannot figure out how to rate this since it is the wrong item. I would give 1 star because two of use have gotten the wrong part but 4 stars for fixing the problem. So will give it a 3 for now.
