5.0 out of 5 stars Easy replacement for your APC UPS batteries
I ordered these batteries to replace my old originals in my APC unit. They came packaged securely and looked like the originals. I simply slide out the original batteries, connected up the replacements, and buttoned the unit back up. Took about 5 mins and works great.

2.0 out of 5 stars This brand/company does not offer FREE recycling
I've bought APC replacement batteries in the past. They have all come with a FREE shipping label to recycle the old battery.

I ordered these batteries to replace my old originals in my APC unit. They came packaged securely and looked like the originals. I simply slide out the original batteries, connected up the replacements, and buttoned the unit back up. Took about 5 mins and works great.

I did notice that the run time was not very long but this is not a problem with the batteries but I had to do a calibration on the UPS unit. From the APC website, it says to apply a 30% load to the UPS (non-critical)with the computer/monitoring software turned off. Then pull the plug and let the system shut off by itself. This recalibrates the CPU in the UPS for the new battery. I did this and my UPS run time went from 2 minutes to 25 minutes.
