I tried to order, your page was down. Tried the next moring order wen through. Batterty arried. My credit card charged. I installed the battery. It worked. GLORY BE
Would I recommend- battery only if you have a old unit. Newer unit cost only a little more and do more. The exchange was so little it still cost more to upgrade.
The purchase was handled efficiently, and the replacement battery arrived in good time. I also like the fact that I can return the old battery with a prepaid label.
The APC Replacement Battery Cartridge #2 is easy to order. Delivery is quick. Connection wire is too short so it is not easy to put back in. I have yet to see this battery make it to 3 years like it says. I wish there was a way to prolong the battery life.
Very Pleased!!! We recieved the replacement battery quicker than expected. It came with simple instructions and a return box for the old battery with free-shipping label. Too easy!! We're move'n onward!!!
This is the 2nd LS-500 that I have purchased for my home computer over the last 4 years. This one lasted only about 14 months at best. I also didn't receive the prepaid return envelope like everyone else seemed to.
I would give the company one more chance if I were to receive the prepaid envelope for this model: BP500CLR LS 500.
Have gone through many, many of these replacement batteries, as I own 3 APC BackUPS Pro 500 UPS units. I have found these batteries to have a short lifespan -- about 2 years. Further, the low battery warnings on these UPS's do not reliably signal the end of life. I have had batteries that were being reported as OK suddenly drop the load on a power-out condition before my software could shut down my equipment.
The positive about this product is that it comes with a prepaid return label to send the dead battery to recycling. But, frankly, for the price, I expect that.
