Shutting down randomly after new APC batteries

on March 16, 2012

Posted by: AdultPCGamer

from Vegas

I currently own 7 APC UPS's. Three of them are this particular top-end model. I use two for my main system. The CPU box is on one and my three monitors are on the other one. They worked fine for about 8 months then started saying the batteries needed to be replaced. So, I ordered and replaced the batteries, which cost a fortune. Within a week, all three units started shutting off randomly. I'm working on something and boom - they just turn off, which has already cost me my primary raid array. I had to replace the drives because the frequent power-off during drive access ruined them. I used to swear by APC power products, but I'll never buy them again. First, they bend you over on the replacement battery prices. Second, they just don't work after the batteries are replaced. I've spent literally thousands on APC units which no longer work, and I'm done. I've used them for decades. I don't know what happened to them, but I don't trust them anymore. BUYER BEWARE!!

What's great about it: The first few months until it tells you to replace the batteries.

What's not so great: They don't work after replacing the battery.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
