    I got an official replacement today, it budged a bit when inserting it, and I put more pressure than I should have, the negative pin got pushed to the back, and the battery was not fully connected.
    I started to panic, but then I remembered your video and knew exactly what to do. I removed the sticker, pushed the cable back in place, and voila. Got a few more years on my UPS.
    Thanks for the video.

    When I took the old batteries out, they were pretty warm. the thing is, since I got the beeping alert that there was a problem I had turned the entire unit off which was last weekend. Now 5 days later, they are still pretty warm and stayed that way hours and hours after taking them out. I feel pretty lucky there wasn't a fire!.

    I have an APC UPS; the case identifies it as an XS 1300 (with LCD), but the stickers on it identify its official model number as BX1300G. The battery is just like the one you show here (APCRBC123). I watched this video before installing prepared to do all this. But I'd purchased an APC-built replacement (from Amazon, where the price was competitive). It comes as an assembled unit; all you have to do is slide the old one out and slide the new one in. No swapping of tape or connecting necessary; the whole operation takes probably a minute. BTW, I purchased my UPS as a reconditioned unit, and it had non-APC batteries in it. Instead of the big sheets of adhesive plastic shown here, the two batteries were held together with a few wraps of strapping tape. I mention that in case anyone has to do this and doesn't have the APC adhesive sheets, or damages them-just use strong tape, like reinforced strapping tape.

    I am on my third set of batteries so I decided to test the ones I replaced, I seperated the batteries and recharged them, after recharging them I let them set for a few days, of the four batteries two were still holding a charge the other two were shorted internally and going dead on their own. Anytime you connect a bad battery with good battery they will both go dead. Bottem line I put the two that tested good togeather and I have a spare battery for my APC XS1500

    I just replaced the batteries in an APC Pro 1000. The unit shows they charge up ok, but they run down quickly if not constantly plugged in.
    With no load plugged into the UPS, and the UPS removed from the mains AC, the batteries run completely and die within about 12 hours. Is this normal?
    When they show full charge, I plugged in a 60 watt light bulb as a load, and it powered it for about an hour and a half. But I thought that if I left the unit unplugged from the wall with no load the batteries would not drain that quickly.
    (The UPS was in my daughter's office and had trouble, so we figured the batteries were too old. But now I wonder if there is some other problem.)

      That's exactly why I came here: to find out whether it's 12v at ~14AH, or 24v at ~7AH. I do think it's the latter, but unsure. Also important to note that you can get a pretty serious time boost by putting 9AH batteries instead of the 7AH ones. Duracell Ultra's SLA12-9F2 are the correct ones, and I can confirm they fit a Back-UPS XS 1000.

    @richardinmontreal396 3 роки тому

    I have two APC UPS (model 1000 and 1500) and both have the same problem. They won't recognize a new APC battery. I tested the new APC battery and it is good.
    For the first UPS (smaller 1000 model), I had trouble getting the battery to click into place. The cover would not fit. I'm wondering if maybe I broke the bracket by trying to push the battery in oriented the other way. I now know the green label should be on top, but it is possible to put the battery in the other way. I don't remember the color label that was up, but I do know the terminals went in first.
    I'm wondering if I could have damaged the UPS by reversing the polarity. In your orientation (laying it flat, the green label up), the bottom pin is positive and the top is negative.
    I also noticed the pins don't stick out enough to make contact with the internal connector. While I can take the tape off and push the pins out to their normal position, they don't seem to click into the socket inside. So, when I take the battery out, the pins get pushed back into the bracket and won't make contact internally.
    So, I wanted to see if I could bypass the bracket with alligator clips and connect the UPS to two external batteries. When I made the final connection a HUGE spark happened along with a HUGE flash (messed up my vision for a few minutes). I then used a multimeter to check the internal contacts and there appears to be a short. With the unit unplugged from the wall (always a good idea), I touched the meter's probes to the two internal connectors and there are 0 ohms between them, ie a short??
    The spark scared me and I jumped back so the contact was for just a faction of a second. I can image the damage I would have caused if I slipped the batteries in with the unit upside down. I would have melted the entire unit and possibly caused a fire.
    I left that UPS alone as I was busy. Last week the newer 1500 model had the same problem. Getting a new APC battery or taping two won't help. The bracket's terminals don't seem to easily click into the receptacle inside the UPS.
    I got fed up and bought a new UPS (Costco $189 Cdn) and the internal design on the new models is WAY better. There is no stupid terminal deep inside. You just have two color coded cables to connect. It is simple to ensure proper contact.
    I might play with the two bad UPS and three bracket to see if I can salvage one of the two units.
    Final tip for anyone reading this far, you can buy the RBC2 battery in 9aHr size too (APC model RBC124) instead of the standard 7.2aHr (APC model RBC123) to get much more time and the cost is only $1-2 more per battery. The 7.2 and 9 models are exactly the same size.
