The replacement battery itself gets five stars. I knocked the rating down a notch because BestBuy's description does not have the critical information I needed to select the correct battery. It doesn't include dimensions nor the type of terminals. It did not include my UPS model in the list of compatible APC models. I had to search information from other sources to be sure the RBC17 would fit my UPS. Installation was easy. Just be careful to not damage the terminals while disconnecting and reconnecting the wires.

This OEM replacement battery made my APC surge protector work like new. Installation was easy. Much less expensive than replacing the entire battery backup device.

Rather than buy an entire unit I got the replaceable battery. It was a bit difficult to get the old one out but once I got the hang of it it was fine. Of course if you have computers routers etc the back up is very good to have, I have three.

I have an APC UPS set up for my computer. Another one for small appliances and even a small old one to keep me from having to reset my digital clocks.
One of the units has performed properly for more than 7 year without replacing the battery.
My other UPS's have larger loads and the power in my area goes off frequently for short periods.
To keep my older unit dependable I replaced the battery before the suggested replacement time.
I bought a generic battery for a really good price.
The battery lasted 2 years and exploded in the unit while the other APC batteries were still performing well.
Now I only buy genuine APC batteries when I need them.

Item in box matches picture of product. Heavy if not familiar with it looking so compact. Re-evaluate size, weight, and power depending on your particular application.

Replacement battery for UPS backup. Old battery died after a number of years of service. Backup essential for computers, gateways and wireless hubs Battery slid right in and worked - like plug and play. Easy to use. Not inexpensive but cheaper than buying a new UPS.

So glad I did not have to buy a hole new back-up system, just this replacement battery which was in stock the next day. This system has protected my computer system from power surges and blackouts (gives me time to properly shut down computer and secure data). A must-have at a good price.

If you have a good UPS but it's not performing as normal, (mine makes a warning cheep, yours may have something similar or a light) this is a great option to renew it but keep the costs down.

I put the battery into the unit and started it letting it charge as directed and then connected my electronic devices and it worked OK, I have not had a failure yet. I hope it works as long as the old battery.

Bought a nice UPS that I can replace the battery with, instead of having to replace the entire UPS. The first battery lasted me a good 7yrs. I'm expecting the same for this one.
