5 minute replacement. 1 plug with easy front removal. Old battery can be dropped off at Staples or Lowes for recycling.
This thing works perfect so far, so glad I found it on here!! Thank you Newegg!!
Getting the old battery out and the new battery in was easy and uneventful. Piece of advice: replace old batteries sooner rather than later. If the old battery swells too much, it can be really difficult to get it out of the UPS.
Remove the cover from the APC UPS , one screw needs to be removed, and the batteries can be exchanged while the attached users are in operation. No need to turn anything off as long as the power is available from the 110 V source.
It's a big battery. A big, HEAVY battery. 75 pounds. I tipped the UPS guy for having to lug it from his truck. Is it being heavy a pro or con? It's not really a pro, but I don't know how you'd avoid it, so it's not really a con. Why can't they make batteries out of Aerogel? Have only had it a few weeks. Have gone through one power outage and it performed as advertised. I guess I was drawing less current than I thought, because the runtime looks to be longer than I thought (based on how fast the battery was draining).
Fit right into the UPS system without having to power the network servers down. Hot swappable.
Replaced my failed battery in my APC. Took the old battery to O'reilly's to recycle
These batteries replaced my worn out ones in my Smart 1500 Watt UPS by Tripplite. They went in easy and I had no problems.
