5.0 out of 5 stars Keep your UPS going for less than half the cost of a new one, February 14, 2007

When my eight-year-old UPS recently failed during a power fluctuation, I assumed it was time get a new one. Later, though, I learned about these replacement batts and decided to give one a try. It's a simple remove-and-replace operation. Switch the unit off and unplug it. Remove a couple screws to open the housing, and disconnect two wires from the old battery with needle-nose pliars. Connect the new battery and carefully reassemble the unit. It takes five minutes.

This genuine replacement battery restored my Tripp-Lite UPS to its original condition. Don't wait for yours to fail like I did. Install one of these new batteries every five years or so.

These batteries are a perfect replacement for my Tripp-Lite SmartPro UPS. The only problem I had was removing the old batteries.

I thought sub $1000 UPS's were disposable objects, but after having several fail that were still fine and just had dead batteries I decided to try replacing them. I have a Tripplite unit and replacement was trivially easy. One screw and four slide on terminals later I had new batteries for less than half the cost of a new unit. Recharging took overnight and now I am using it again.

I have not done any load testing to verify that there is a greater life with the new batteries, but it has brought me down softly during several power failures since then (we live in the country and have frequent outages).

I heartily recommend this product with the only caveat being that you need to dispose of the replaced batteries properly and that can be non-trivial if your local dump does not handle them.
