Where do you buy your replacement UPS batteries? - deckeda - 12-17-2009
I need an RBC 10 (for an APC BackUPS Office 350VA.)
My budget here is no more than $30 shipped, which is achievable, but I don't know what's a reputable place.
Or there's a BatteriesPlus near me that has a Werker (what's a Werker?) for $30+tax.

Ever since USPS introduced those fixed-price Priority Mail boxes, I've found eBay stores with decent feedback scores are about half the cost of local battery stores.

why buy a battery when you can get the whole UPS?

Good point, but then I'd have to recycle both the battery and the UPS.

I think Staples will take your old UPS. Call and ask

Gotten two big 1400 VA UPS replacement batteries from http://www.batterywholesale.com/ several years apart. Good price, fast delivery.
New UPS of this size are $500. Replacement battery more like $100 (ballpark figures).

Surprisingly, a local auto battery store called Battery Exchange seems to service/sell only auto batteries. But they also carry some UPS batteries. Their prices are comparable to batteries online when you add in the online shipping cost.
And they will take old UPS batteries for free, and I've dropped off 2 dead UPS batteries lately.

I just bought one from Gruber Power Services based on a search through the forum posts. While shipping was expensive, the battery including shipping was easily 10-15% less than buying it locally. Mine was a for a 950 VA and cost in the upper $30 delivered.
