discussion How to Replace a UPS Battery?

[Shadowarez]

heya all outa nowere another ups battery went wich is normally the case but im wondering if anyone knows how to remove these cant seem to find a video on how its done?

ill get a pic when imback home but its a APC 1350va UPS Has a type c port in front.

should be pretty easy, usually the bottom or side and has a slide cover and then the battery should just slide out and the new one slides in.

the side came off but the clip doesnt look like it comes out i can see the battery terminals and they go right into the plastic bit. id thought it clip or somethin cant find a vid on youtube for this lol thought id ask here.

Normally the tabs on the batteries that connect them can be carefully pulled off with decent pliers.

Never seen a UPS that didn't have replaceable batteries, so I'm certain you'll figure it out.

they have a nice system to pull them out of the casing but removing em doesnt look easy lol

Cyberpower units tend to pull out from the front and I find it's always a bit stiff/tight. I tend to wear gloves now to give me some extra grip and protection from scraping my hands on anything.

I never really want to wrestle with a battery either lol

These were a bit tough finally got it the red I had to use a screw driver to hit the tip contact pin and push it was in there like a car battery lol.

This is great info, I also have an older UPS that works great when my power flickers. I always wondered how difficult it might be to swap them. Total Battery has a store near me that says they sell new ones too.
