How To Replace your UPS Battery

[gary19801980]

I poo on your face

[hirak99]

What I would like to know more about are replacing batteries for other UPS-es - which need to be opened to do the job. Also safety precautions, identifying positive vs negative, etc. This video is more like an ad for APC, demonstrating that for APC a 5 year old child can do it safely.

HAHA, one of the hefty ones. That is not hefty, I have a Smart-UPS 3000VA that weighs about 60KG. now THAT is hefty

[pakistanzindabada]

thanks alot

[jakeanddar]

Cool.

[MateenK]

Its like changing batteries of the remote control. Why the hell did they make a video was about this?

[2dumb2care]

its the same as the square peg goes in the square hole but people get that wrong

[boqallaf]

this ups is bigger than my pc

[RevalutionDemonKilla]

@boqallaf Then your Pc needs a good crash so you have an excuse to buy a 5970.

normaly an UPS is a charge protector with no batery ,

[hitachi088]

Sorry my mistake ,

UPS is just a batery power supply , it doest not protect your PC from storm ( high electricity peck )

i was talking about SP ( surge protector ) like MOV , thats what i have ,

[damianson]

i need about 2700watts to run everything >.>

[uut0]

how long will those things gimme 600W of power?

[HenryGAD]

a gaming PC uses max 400W under load in idle 130W...

[damianson]

than 400w under load..thats a really weak gaming pc..

[uut0]

@damianson my previous pc that wasnt ment to game maxed out the 350W psu. i hated that psu didnt make me oc my Q6600 more then 3GHz >:C lol

[TheGregaM]

Q9550@3.8GHz, 8GB of RAM and HD 4890 at max load : 380W, idle 180W. You call that weak PC? Maybe you live on a different planet, or you never test REAL power consumption.

[superfish7]

Well i have a 1000watt psu and i know im using alot of it.....

[TheGregaM]

config?

[4N0NYM0U557]

"your pc can be shut down safely before having to turn it off"

isn't shut down and turn off the same thing??

[nerdydev]

wen you shud down the psu still has a small curent powaring the tern on system, but if you tern it of you have no power in the computer

[4N0NYM0U557]

i thought it was something among those lines....

all electronic devices use at least some amount of power when they're "not working"

but thanx for clarifying the difference =)

[nerdydev]

and soz for my speling

[theflashjaxx]

im sure they wouldnt make the video if they werent asked about it alot by people who cant read or just throw away the manual lol

[psychosavidge]

why would you make a video on subject material that is already covered in the owners manual?

[milosimus]

because it has people who cant understand an user manual ... :-)

[JamboyStu]

They're useful things to have, but I don't think I'd get stuck with replacing those batteries.

The chances are if you own one,you know how to do this already.

[secreamia]

RFM ( read the fucking manual)

[NapsterX666X]

wow how stupid can you be to don't actually know how to change a battery.

[4N0NYM0U557]

yeah - and it actually says it all on the battery itself "INSERT THIS WAY"

oh, and thats what she said XD

[AlmightBlackDragon]

@NapsterX666X A video like this helps to determine if a battery is replaecable. I just got a model similar to the first one show here which is easy to swap, but I have a similar model many years old that has the positive lead Super glued in, so you can't just "unsnap it as easily here. I guess APC didn't want people to replace batteries in their earlier models, or have customers pay for service or new units.

[chaosdragon1212]

whats UPS

[4N0NYM0U557]

google is your friend

[wvbama]

[afterburn13]
