May be better off looking elsewhere [Posted on 2007-10-14]
I had bought this battery for my user-replaceable APC brand of UPS.
The battery did not last very long at all - my best guess is that these batteries do not move as quickly as others and that they may not be fresh when obtained.
I have since had much, much better results by using the services of one of the many large online battery companies that offer "SLA" ("sealed lead acid") batteries. Most of these companies now offer an interactive display where one will enter in the model number of APC brand UPS that they have and the correct battery replacement will be suggested.
No problems so far, a tad pricey [Posted on 2008-01-07]
This battery is a bit high priced compared to competitors, but I needed it shipped same day, so I bought from amazon. Working fine.
Correct Replacement and Pre-Paid UPS Return [Posted on 2008-01-23]
Its just fine - it is the correct replacement battery branded by the UPS manufacturer.
It comes with a pre-paid UPS label to return the old battery for recycling (I don't know if it is a legal requirement for the vendor to do this, but, since it is a lead battery, recycling it is a priority, so this is very convenient).
And it has worked for about six weeks now without any problems.
Dependable quality [Posted on 2008-03-02]
I've used APC products for many years, and in spite of the relatively high price compared to other brands like Tripp Lite, Belkin, etc., I've always been pleased with APC's level of quality. This particular purchase is my second "refill" for a long-lasting BP-500CLR that's gone way past its warranty period and keeps on tickin'. Though I like Tripp Lite's products in general, their batteries haven't lasted as long as APC's.
Painless upgrade [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I had just had a conversation with a friend remarking how long this battery had lasted when it failed: at least 5 years, maybe 6-7. I thought about buying a new unit, but this seemed like such a much cheaper deal that it would be worth it. The new battery snapped into place and I used the enclosed postage sticker to send the old one back for recycling. It was a snap. This is the real value of the APC equipment: it lasts a long time.
