Where do you get your UPS batteries from?

[jimbob200521]

For those of you whom service rather than replace your UPS's, where do you buy your replacement batteries from? I found a post on here not too long ago listing a great place to get them at a good price but I cannot for the life of me find this place now. So where do you guys buy replacement batteries from?

I see that one you linked is a 84 watt hour battery.

How long would that last in terms of lifespan/durability (not run time)? 1 year? 2 years? longer than that?

P.S. This must be the model of APC UPS does that works with---> https://www.amazon.com/APC-Back-UPS...rd_wg=4irgR&psc=1&refRID=81KZAYWNP4HG3X0K45SE

I have replaced two in the past 10 years just by driving down to Batteries Plus. They also take care of disposing of the old battery (hazardous waste.)

also you can open these supposedly sealed batteries fairly easily and try to revive them by filling them up with distilled water, i was able to revive one doing this, another did not want to take a charge even after filling it up. both of them were pretty dry.

do not open it up if it has been sitting on the charger as there can be a little pressure when you pop the rubber caps off let them cool off first.
