Good price for an APC branded, 9Ah battery. They usually go as low as $35-40, but you may not be able to catch a sale when your old battery dies and you need a new one NOW.

That battery has a lower 7.2Ah capacity and smaller F1 terminals so technically not RBC17-compatible despite saying so (one reviewer used pliers to compensate for the loose connection). Mighty Max does have a 9Ah battery with F2 terminals for $23.55, curiously shipped and SOLD by Amazon [amazon.com] which may or may not be a good thing: for SLA battery with a limited storage/shelf life, some may prefer the seller ship fresh stock directly from their own warehouse (as with your 7.2Ah listing).

OP's listing is good when your friend needs a battery, since you don't want to be blamed for getting an off-brand if it doesn't work. For myself, I usually buy at least 2, and I can get (2) 9Ah for around $40 shipped from battery specialists like BatterySharks.com. Those popular CyberPower 1350VA/1500VA UPS towers each take two 7Ah/8Ah/9Ah F2 batteries (model RB1270/RB1280/RB1290) if you reuse the old wiring harness.

Also, I ensure that the UPSes that I buy can take the larger 7-9Ah battery size (as smaller sized batteries aren't much cheaper). Those used to be commonly $40 and under back in the Staples coupon days but for the last few years the cheaper models come with physically smaller 5.5-6Ah batteries.

no you cannot. Li-Ion chemistry aren't close enough to SLA, you'll either be too low or too high voltage. Charging profile are also very different. LiFePo on the other hand, can.

I've been buying 'generic' ones off EBay, and they run for ~5 years, which is in line with the lifespan I got out of the OE batteries that came with my APC UPSes.

Where can I get some info on this?
Just look up Converting a UPS battery to LifePo4 on Youtube.
Lots of videos on it. You do want to be safe. And it is a fair argument to use LifePo4 for this. But it is very possible to do this and it works very well.

Walmart seems to have the best battery for the money right now. If you have an interstate shop also try them. Especially if they have discounted "blems" for sale.
Costco sells Interstate batteries and also slightly cheaper, at least for my car.

off topic. But i am looking

Since you brought this up. I am up for a new car battery for my 2015 nissan sentra. I am hunting for deals but cant find any. Any suggestions?
Walmart has Everstart batteries with a 1 year warranty that go for around $50.00 There isn't that much difference between them and something with a three year warranty other than the warranty.

The Costco Interstate batteries were once very good. Priced below other sellers and their warranty was top notch. 42 months full replacement. The longest warranty in the industry. I bought several for my cars at the same time. One of them began to fail at 41 months. I took it back and they gave me a new one. Their warranty now is a prorated 36 months. The replacement spewed battery acid all over the car. It was not a problem with my alternator/charging system. By the time you discover this it is too late. I do not know if they overfilled it or it had an internal issue. Once it lost enough acid it calmed down, but of course it did not charge to capacity any longer. The other original that I bought and installed in my van is still going strong, it's been 7 or 8 years now. Intersting story. The batteries for sale in Canada are much better quality than in the US. Thicker cases, heavier lead plates to survive the intense cold and the vibration of the terrible roads there after the thaw. I purchased a lifetime battery from Canadian Tire in 1985 and everytime I visit Canada, I drag this battery back up and get a new one free. I think JC Penny did the same thing in the early 80's and I undertand that they offered to buy out the lifetime warranty years later from several people who had the good sense to buy one.

In a jam & need some battery help. I need a 12 volt sealed battery for powering up some things inside my Prius when it's parked to save my auxiliary 12volt battery. I'm planning on charging it when I'm driving using the cars 12 volt auxiliary battery charging circuit. Is there a decent inexpensive battery like this UPS, but slight bigger on the Ah rating?

It's an ok deal if you only need one or two. I have more than one UPS at home, and each takes two of these batteries. If a UPS goes "bad" it's typically just the battery that needs replaced. For $117 plus tax for a pack of 6, these have definitely been worth it. No dead ones yet.

I could use some help here. I have an APC BX1500G from years ago which needs a new set of batteries. I was watching this on Amazon over the last few months and it seems like the price has dropped recently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8&th=1

These appear to be CSB batteries from what I can tell, and it's nice that they already come wired up (recently replaced two batteries in a Cyberpower that didn't come coupled and was kind of a pain). Is what I linked a good price, or would you recommend ordering elsewhere? I also found these for $30 but are not wired up, and I have no idea the quality compared to the APC: https://www.batterysharks.com/APC...2-9_x2.htm

Long ago I moved away from desktops to laptops. this is just my 2c and won't apply to many, but with a laptop you get a built in ups (even though windows has gotten good at power outage recovery) - you just leave the ac adapter always plugged in. And it is even easier to make a super long lasting power source with a battery charger feeding a 12v battery (car battery, sla, lipo etc) feeding a "car laptop adapter" (typically 19v). And for laptops w/a removable battery pack you can leave it out as some count recharge cycles. A decade ago FB released a industry white paper on how they transformed their data centers to a 12v standard. Drives, cpu boards etc were power directly from the (always being charged) batteries and only required 12 to 5v converters for the motherboards and hard drives, greatly reducing the complexity and conversion losses of 115v ups'. There were probably a few dedicated 115v display monitors but most access was done on the floor with a battery powered laptop.

My UPS model is BN600G. This one says it's compatible with BN600 (but I dont see BN600G in the list). Does anyone know if they're the same? Cant find specs of either one so I dont know what is the diff between the 2. Cant return either so I want to make sure. TIA
I have one of these and my battery quit last night. I'll get one of these to replace it. (although the deal seems done Frown )

this advice does not help folks who want backup power for their network gear.

.unless your network router utilizes a wall adapter to which you can find a "12v to _v" converter and are capable of some diy work.

You can't just look at 9Ah, which only tells capacity but not current draw. Regular SLA battery is not suitable for UPS.

The higher VA the UPS, the higher discharge rate of the battery has to support.
The 1500VA Cyberpower UPS I have is using battery that support discharge of continuous 100A+ current.
Some reliable brand 12V 9AH high discharge for UPS costs $40+.

Other sellers just sell you some generic 12V 9AH without any specification sheet. You end up using battery that cannot supply enough power for your devices during outage and blame the UPS thinking your battery is new and good.
ive never had any trouble, but im not using even close to 50% of the 1500 anyways.
