RBC recycling

APC no longer provides a return label to recycle the RBC. This reduces the value of purchasing batteries from APC. Also, the newer APC UPS units do not reliably operate on standby generator power - they have no provision to operate with less than perfect frequency power. When the battery gets low, the APC UPS shuts down, and does NOT pass power.
This is the second replacement battery I have purchased for my Back UPS Pro. The batteries have long life and when they're exhausted, there's nothing easier than contacting APC to get a new one. Replacement service is expedited, and APC even includes provision for sending the old battery to a recycling center, free of charge. I highly recommend using APC.
The battery works well. The death of the previous battery lead me to a problem that I have been troublshooting for six months. My server kept shutting down randomly. The APC UPS had a loose connection inside it that was causing the server shut down. I kept looking at the server to for the problem but the issue was in the UPS. I never would have found the issue had the battery not failed.
