The original equipment battery lasted over 4 years, with over 80 cycles longer than 3 seconds. The replacement battery was in stock, arrived promptly, and works as advertised.
I have been using APC products for over 10 years and there is nothing else I know of to compare to the quality and service I have received. Their replacement batteries have been exceptional in quality and endurance.
I OWN 3 APC UNITS FOR MY 3 COMPUTERS THAT I USE IN MY HOME - APC HAS NEVER FAILED AND LETS ME KNOW WHEN TO CHANGE THE BATTERY'S - HARD TO TELL OR KEEP TRACK OF TIME BUT APC IS ALWAYS ON THE JOB AND LETS YOU KNOW WHEN ITS TIME TO CHANGE THE BATTERY'S - THE BEST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT YOU CAN OWN IF YOUR ARE RUNNING COMPUTER EQUIPMENT.
Perfect match for my unit - quick replacement - didn't even have to shut down system - only had to lay the system on its side and slide open bottom hatch.
I was not interested in replacing yet another UPS unit because the batteries died. (Past advice has been that, all told, it's cheaper to replace the unit than to replace the batteries). This purchase was smart, economic and swift. The batteries for my somewhat older unit were available immediately and shipping time was minimal. Good on-line shopping experience.
These batteries are easy to find the one needed, order and receive quickly. They are easy to swap out and they work for years. I also like getting replacement batteries so there is less stuff going into land fills. The old batteries I have a computer recycling place that will pick them up with other computer equipment.
Battery worked as advertised. Packaging a little light but the battery was in good condition. I decided to get just the battery and not trade in my Back-UPS because I felt why upgrade when there is nothing wrong with the UPS itself. Actually there was nothing wrong with the battery and my battery had never failed. APC has a built-in timer suggesting you replace your battery before it fails outright. Probably a good idea if you were a mission critical application. As a home user I am not. I just don't want to be typing away and find the power fails because of weather for example. So now I have a new battery and am good to go. The trade-in price for a new Back-UPS is too high in my opinion.
