FYI: I bought replacement batteries from you because of this how-to video.

This is too cool. I bought an APC XS 1000 that was kind of out of date. went to New York and trained to install "BIG" UPS systems for Leibert. The kind that have a special room filled with batteries, x formers, inverters, curt key dual services, and a gen set control. I also installed APC, Triplite, and other stuff, but when a battery went dead it was on a rack, not jammed in a consumer case with a funky Siamese connector. THANKS A MILLION APC! This video rocks! 2x 7.2 Ah batts and I am golden!

@Ritari2000 yes those are 7.2 amp batteries. They are also avail. in a 9 amp with the same dimensions for longer run time during a power outage.

[Ritari2000]

Are those batteries shown in this video standard 7.2Ah lead-acid batteries? They look pretty much that size but just to make sure.

After swap the batteries, I will go to Powerchute 3.0 and I click in Replace Battery Date. I had made the self test and it is OK. Now, how I could really test if the new batteries are really OK ?

APC must design their charging circuits to fry with the first set. I'm on my third UPS from them that was dead when the new batts were bought and installed. I'm done with APC. Don't waste your money buying the RBCs.

Thanks a million for this video! I just returned home from the site visit and completed this task. I looked like a hero - thanks to your video tutorial. Thanks again! - Liz in ABQ

I replaced one of these recently. The two batteries were preassembled as one, so that made the replacement much easier. How long should the replacement battery take to charge? There is no "charging" LED on this unit. The red "replace the battery" LED is still lit even though the battery was replaced 30 hours ago.

@bungalaix I contacted APC support asking the same thing, here is the reply to my question: Thank you for contacting APC's email support on 11/29/2010 02:32 AM. I would be happy to assist you.

It is best to turn Off the UPS after using the PC. The UPS will charge whether it is 'ON" or 'OFF'. The unit will charge whether there is equipment plugged in or not. However, in environments where the power quality is poor, it is recommended that the unit be off during this charging period.
