[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing like having a small amount of these in stock for swap-out's and failures, which are rare. Highly recommended where indicated.
Pros: Easy to Perform Maintenance, Good Value, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
No problems with APC batteries, ever. They fit well, have all the cables, and do not boil over like the cheap replacements always do. Install it & forget it. Better things to worry about, knowing your data and workflow are protected.
The battery didn't really seem to last anywhere near as long as it should have, I think the self test showed it could run about 10 mins right after I replaced it, but it rapidly dropped down to 5 mins after half a year and the self test started warning I should replace the battery again. I've gotten new batteries several times and the quality has become worse with every replacement since the original one that came with the UPS gave 25 min runtime originally. Ultimately the battery is for a UPS model that's no longer supported, but it's kind of crappy a brand new replacement seems to have run down so quickly.
Pros: Easy to Perform Maintenance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wiring a little sketchy. Had to make repairs to new product to keep it charging to max so I could start to rely on it. At first before I found the problem, the unit was sending signals warning that the battery was not charging.
Cons: Too Expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
