It's a battery. It works.
This is the exact battery to replace my dead old one. It does the job.What I learned however, is if you take the little top cap off the old battery, you can see how the two cells are connected, at which point you can buy them cheaper and hook them up just like the original. But do this at your own risk and only if you know what you are doing.But I digress. It is a VERY VERY easy battery swap with the old one. Just slide a cover off, unplug the old one, plug in the new one and slide the cover back on. Problem solved.It's a bit pricey, that's my only gripe.

This double-battery unit is an exact fit for the UPS device they are advertised to fit. Removing the original battery unit is pretty difficult, but once it is out, you can pretty easily tell how to insert this replacement battery. I have been using it for several months, and it seems to be working well. (Why is "WiFi signal" a feature for rating? Makes no sense to me.)

Replaced UPS battery (APC) that would not charge. The new unit came barely charged and when I plugged it in the UPC indicated a failure. I worried that the UPC had failed, but I left it charging overnight and the battery fully charged and tested fine. Has been in service for several weeks and passed 2 auto tests and one, manually initiated, power failure.

My UPS was alarming and I tested the old battery. I ordered the same battery type. Easy to install, I let the battery sit overnight to charge before I put a load on the UPS. Works great. Highly Recommended if you have an UPS that uses this battery.

After 3-4 years on my home computer, my APC UPS battery was getting kinda anemic. I almost decided to buy a new unit, but my UPS is pretty pricey. I decided to buy the APC UPS Battery Replacement, APCRBC163 instead. Good move!

The new battery was delivered in 24 hours! Replacing the old battery took about two minutes flat. Just slide open the door, lift out the battery with the built-in handles, and pull off the leads (that was the toughest part--they're quite tight.) Slide the leads onto the new battery and lower it into the UPS with the handles.

Bingo! The battery even comes pre-charged. While expensive, this is a perfect brand-name replacement and easy fix. Five stars.
