RE: UPS Batteries

["Phillip Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

The batteries are usually pretty standard ... one of my old housemates had a UPS with shagged batteries and I believe the replacements cost him £12.00 each (there were two). Can't remember where he got them from but it wasn't anywhere special ... I think it he tried asking at a "autofit" type place and they put him onto their battery suppliers.

I've got an old APC UPS which I've recently discovered is not holding any charge.

I've tried charging it on-load, off-load, deep discharging, everything I can think of.

I know we get the batteries checked and chnaged if necessary in the UPS' at work about once a year.  Mine is a very small unit, is this cost effective?, where can I source the battery/ies? 

Any other recommendations for reconditioning?

Or shall I just go buy a new one?

 

Cheers
