    APC battery is heavier
    I’ve bought cheaper, non-APC batteries in the past and haven’t gotten around to recycling them. I decided to go for the APC-branded one this time because the price was reasonable for once (~$57 + free shipping) and I thought it would be interesting to weigh the various batteries. The APC battery is the heaviest. More lead maybe? I’m not a battery expert and can’t say this necessarily means the APC battery is better, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Removing the label from another, smaller APC battery I have lying around, the APC battery was made by CSB Battery (Vietnam) Co., Ltd.

    This is my second battery in a week, the first "compatible" off-brand didn't fit in the UPS and just getting a return started has taken days... so far. This OEM replacement does fit, easily. And, in less than 5 minutes, my APC UBS was up and running again. No issues, no problem. And the cost differential was negligible. Love it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Weight Matters
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2011
    Style: RBC18Verified Purchase
    A few years ago, I didn't think much could be said about replacement batteries for an APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and this is still true, however there are a few things that make a genuine APC replacement battery cartridge a better deal, even though they cost more.

    1. These batteries are already paired and have the appropriate leads attached, so replacement is very quick and easy. I don't have to tape them together or spend time transferring the leads from the old batteries.

    2. These batteries have the correct terminal tab size for attaching leads. Many batteries come with narrow tabs.

    3. These batteries have much more lead than all of the others I have used.

    Why do items 2 and 3 matter? Well, attaching the leads with a proper, mechanically tight connection makes for a low resistance electrical connection which is critical for UPS function. And, weight matters in batteries. The amount of lead determines battery life, both how long the batteries will provide power in a power outage and how many times they will recharge and do it again.

    Yes, these are more expensive than all of the others, and no, they don't tell you how many Ampere-Hours they produce, so how does one compare batteries?

    I support a pretty large number of APC UPS units tangentially to my real work. I have tried all of the other brands I've found on the Internet and locally. You can take my word for it, or you can compare the weight of the old APC battery pack you are replacing to the new pack of any brand. There has always been a measurable difference, with the APC batteries being a pound or more heavier. This has translated, in every test I made, to a far longer life for the APC-brand batteries--for example as low as 6 months for cheaper batteries compared to 2 to 3 years for the APC-brand batteries.

    The most recent test I performed, with a national-brand battery pair, available locally, lasted one week and failed in the first 5-minute outage. This was probably due to a defective battery. However, I have never had an APC battery do this.

    Enough said.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, but much less than a new UPS
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019
    Style: RBC4Verified Purchase
    I purchased an old SmartUPS at my local ReStore for a bargain price. It was not working when I bought it. I knew the probable cause was a dead battery. I was glad to find this battery. Although it is somewhat more expensive than the off-brand replacements, it was still in the range of what I consider to be reasonable. It brought that old SmartUPS back to life after it had been neglected for a long time, enough so that the old battery had swelled and took a lot of work to get out. This one fit in perfectly and the UPS came back to life and should provide more years of usable service. I can't vouch for the battery life, but it should be okay for quite a while. I've not had a bad battery with the APC name on it. I can't say the same for some of the off brands.

    The battery lasted 6 years and 11 months which is much better than some of the off-brand batteries I've tried in other UPS's that have lasted 2 to 3 years. I'd give it 5 stars but it is twice the cost of the alternatives.

    5.0 out of 5 stars APC battery backup replacement
    Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2016
    Style: RBC4Verified Purchase
    Replacing the battery on an APC backup can be stressful. Firstly, APC doesn't make it easy to figure out which battery cartridge to buy. I've noticed the original batteries in a backup unit don't have a part number on them. Hmmm. Do they want us to buy a new unit each time a battery wears out?

    Fortunately, after a lot of effort I found an APC site to match battery cartridges to backup unit model numbers. The site is apc.com/tools/upgrade_selector/index.cfm. I would always buy an APC battery for their backup units as the third party ones seem to run down more quickly or are just incompatible.

    This battery cartridge is wider than most. The RBC17 seems to be more commonly seen in low cost units. However, this battery was the right match for my backup unit and is performing properly.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017
    Style: RBC4Verified Purchase
    This is the real deal, not some copy or knockoff. It's exactly the same as the original and every bit as hard to make slide in. That's APC's deal, don't blame the battery. Don't get me wrong, it fits as it should but should it fit so dang tight? Also, nothing to do with the battery, but when I removed the old one (by turning the power supply upside down and beating it on the counter) I could NOT for the life of me figure out how the previous battery could have the wires connected. The original battery was actually upside down. The wires cannot reach like that. If you are a guy, break the rules and read the directions. No wait, don't read. The pictures are enough.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Careful, Description shows APC battery, but not what you get
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2012
    Style: RBC4Verified Purchase
    Very, very, very disappointed!!!

    I looked up and searched for an APC RBC4 battery, and when I found the item and looked at the product image and it showed a battery with APC logo, and I ordered what I thought was an APC battery, opting for the more expensive APC $45 battery over a clone $25 battery believing I was getting a real APC product.

    I am not sure how I am to handle this. The item being reviewed even states "APC Replacement Batter Cartridge RBC4", which is exactly what I wanted, not a "unknown brand" look alike!

    Not what I expected from AMAZON or Amazon retailers!
