There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The problem with the replacement is simply that the original battery in my UPS was a 9Ah and the replacements are only 7.5Ah, or one-sixth less capacity. It will work fine -and honestly, aging batteries in need of replacement have probably lost some capacity anyway. So you most likely won't miss 1.5Ah. Even when fresh, you should never drain the battery so much that you wring every last amp out of it. But the description should be clear, this is a compatible if not an exact replacement.
Once that caveat is out of the way, the batteries work fine, fit fine, test fine. All in all, a good replacement.
EDIT: An edit, apology and star-change are due. After reviewing my UPS and my purchase more carefully, I have realized I was mistaken about which APC UPS I had. This part is meant for the RS 1500, while mine is actually the XS 1500. These two similar UPS units do indeed use different batteries, which explains why the capacity was different. So, I ordered the wrong item. The capacity issue is my fault, not the seller's, and I apologize for the error that is entirely mine. As a result, I have added a star to the review and changed the subject.
The good news is that this battery works fine even in the wrong UPS, although this is probably not a recommended use. It IS working perfectly and there is no reason to send it back. If there's any blame here it might be to APC for coming up with so many confusingly similar model names. ES, RS, XS, 1500 that take small batteries, 1500 that take huge batteries, some are rack mounted, some not.
"APC recycles used batteries and almost 100% of the battery lead content is reused, protecting the environment. With each purchase of a genuine APC replacement battery, you get free freight back to APC for proper disposal of your old batteries (currently available in USA only.)"
This was one of the main reasons for buying a genuine APC replacement battery instead of relaceing the unit completely or going with a 3rd party battery for less money.
There is no return shipping of any sort. APC is partnering with call2recycle.org which then searches for a loal recycling center that you can take the battery to. Mine is at a Home Depot several miles away. Sure, it's not too much hastle for me to drive 30 mins to the HD on my weekend, but that's wasting my time when I purchased this replacement for the easy recycling. That's clearly false advertising and even borderline bait-and-switch. Shame on APC/Schneider Electric. This is clearly a cost cutting move that shifts the cost directly to the customer (in terms of my time/gas/frustration). That is not what I purchased this unit for.
-3 stars for false advertising!
Otherwise, the battery is an exact match/fit for the old one in my BT1000.
If you do purchase this battery for your BT1000 and don't mind having to drive somewhere across town to recycle the old battery, then realize that there is a correct side and incorrect side to insert the battery... have the cable on the right side of the UPS, where there's a cutout. Also, there's an up and down to the battery that's not labeled. If you have to twist/rotate the cable to get the key in the plug to align, then take the batter out and flip it over that way you won't have to stress the cable and the cover will fit back on a little easier.
Correction/edit 10/2/2014. I made a mistake with my original review and I'm leaving it above unchanged but setting the review to 5 stars. The URL that is referenced is not very obvious on the page and it in turn takes you to another page which then links to the UPS page to generate the return label. It's convoluted but it is there. I was incorrect about that in my review. The direct URL to the UPS login page to generate a return label is here for US customers: http://www.apc.com/solutions/display.cfm?id=35898A73-5056-AE36-FE910E4E9F5B9B7B&ISOCountryCode=us&tsk=j337w&pc=13729&keycode=j337w&promocode=13729&promo_key=137290
I don't know why APC doesn't just put that on the page instead of all the other stuff about buying a replacement battery or upgrading the UPS with a trade-in value.
Anyway, bottom line is the battery is good, it fits and is recyclable so if you need a battery for your BT1000, this is the one to get.
