4.0 out of 5 stars
It works, March 14, 2006
This review is from: Hi-Capacity SLA UPS Battery for APC BackUPS & BackUPS Pro (RBC2) (Electronics)
I've replaced the batteries in two of my APC UPS devices and both have worked.
I replaced my APC Back-UPS 500 battery a few months ago and have had a few power cuts since then and it hasn't failed yet.
I also replaced the battery in an APC Back-UPS CS a few weeks ago and that has also kept the PC running during a couple of power cuts so far.
I haven't used it with monitoring software so I don't know if it gives the correct information on the remaining battery life.
Update Jan 2008:
It's been almost two years since I replaced my batteries and they're still working even after many power outages.
Update October 2009:
Both batteries are still working without problems more than three years after I purchased them.
Update September 2011:
One of the batteries is pretty much dead about 5 years after installing it.
It only keeps the PC up for a couple of minutes before the UPS shuts off.

Terminals smaller than original, January 22, 2009
This review is from: Hi-Capacity SLA UPS Battery for APC BackUPS & BackUPS Pro (RBC2) (Electronics)
This is sold as a RBC2 battery but the battery from my APC Backups 500 has F2 terminals which are larger than the F1 terminals on the battery I received. Although I could crimp the terminals to get a sufficiently tight connection, I shouldn't have to do that for a battery that is supposed to be an equivalent battery.

BackUPS, February 17, 2006
This review is from: Hi-Capacity SLA UPS Battery for APC BackUPS & BackUPS Pro (RBC2) (Electronics)
Battery arrived quickly and works great. The only problem that I see is that they don't provide an evelope for the old battery.
