Buyer Beware

APC will not warranty the RBC48 or any other battery regardless of where you bought it. The only warranty afforded you is if you buy a complete unit. I bought a battery from their suggested online partner and it went bad a year later. I'm out ~$90. That's a lot for 18 months of service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received my replacement battery just days after ordering. I was pleased to receive information and a shipping label to dispose of the old battery. The new battery was easy to install and has been on 24 x 7 since I received it. Thank you!

Installed and working

We had a SUA750 that completely failed. We replaced the battery and it's online and working again. A replace battery indicator would have been helpful. We gambled that a new battery would work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Short life

I've bought these batteries before but they've usually lasted longer. I had to buy 2 in the last few months to replace the 2 older ones I have. However, those 2 older ones were only about 14 months old so I feel like they should have lasted a lot longer. They were under the same load that previous ones had so I don't think it's a matter of the load I have on the UPS.

I was very impressed with how simple it was to replace the old battery with this new one. It's much easier than it was 5 years ago with the older APC battery replacements. I would definitely do this again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No More Recycling: Sigh!

In the past, I've bought from APC and from their resellers. Usually, you get a discount from the resellers, but APC always included the return label to recycle the battery. Maybe Schnider Electric is turning the screws on APC (only to be expected), or times are tough and APC does not care about recycling any more, but my most recent battery replacement came wtihout the return lable to recycle the battery.
APC is still the best, and their replacement batteries are fine, but my old batrtery is going into the landfill!
