Only APC

Great batteries, I have tried the Amazon replacements to save a few dollars. Not a good move. The lifespan of the replacement batteries is shorter. In the long run, I am always better off with the original APC replacement batteries.

Return process is ridiculous

We no longer needed the item so tried to return without even opening the package. Still have NOT received the information necessary to return and receive a refund.

Very nice perfect fit with easy slide out/slide in

Easy order and install with all the right hardware already reinstalled. Worked well.

Worst Customer Service Ever -

It was very difficult to first figure out what battery I needed and was repeatedly asked to give the information on the white label (which was missing from the battery). I sent pictures and a copy of the paper purchase receipt with the information on it. I should mention the unit is located in our office space that is leased and was there before we leased. When I ordered the battery recommended by them, it looked nothing like the "battery" I had. I had multiple chat discussions, sending pictures of both, and all I was told was "I must have ordered the wrong battery and that the information on the while label was needed." I became so frustrated that I hung up and youtubed it - the battery I received was to be placed in the existing box (which turned out to be the case for the battery) but not one person at APC let me know that...I guess BOTS are just that BOTS. This company does not have a phone number or humans you can speak with. Admittedly, I had no idea that the unit giving me error messages and beeping was not the battery but rather the case for the battery - I would think customer service would let me know that based on the pictures I sent.

Easiest Battery Swap Ever!

Easiest battery swap ever, slide it out and slide it in, no messing with plugs, Styrofoam shipping container it arrived in was excellent too!

Super Fast Service

The old battery had died and the machine kept beeping. Ordered one day and seemed like I received the next. Prompt service indeed!!

BATTERY FITS AND WORKS

All I ask is for it to be the correct part. It got here quickly and works. Nothing more to say.

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.

Very Easy to Replace

When the "battery needs replacement" beep started I got on line and ordered a new replacement. Arrived in a reasonable time and had it replace and running minus the beeping in about 5 minutes. Easy to replace and a breeze to send to recyclers.

APC made it simple

This is the third battery we have replaced in our APC over the last 10 years. Still working like a champ. It is easy to replace and really like how easy it is to recycle of the old battery. Thanks to APC for paying the shipping for the recylce. Not all retailers do that.

Perfect Again

This is the second time I have replaced the batteries on the Smart b/u DLA-750. The previous batteries lasted a bit over 2 years. In South Florida weather, brown outs, power surges, lightning and all else they last very well and makes for a great unit with easy management. The hot swap of the batteries makes it even easier to care for. It's a quick face plate movement, quick click disconnect/reconnect and you're done. Easy return or local drop off to recycle the old batteries and you are done! Nothing, in my experience, has been more reliable, cost efficient and easy to use and maintain.

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.

APC does it again

We probably have 20 of these ranging from ES350's to SUA1000's. The alert is on time, the replacement reasonably priced, and the freight to and from for the recycling makes the entire process of replacing a battery easy.

battery was received very quickly. very easy to replace and install. the only thing i wasn't sure was how long it would take to charge up before being able to use it.

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!
