APC Back-UPS ES BF500UK 500VA 350W Replacing Battery Advice

Hey guys,

Ok my UPS has started to beep asking for me to replace the battery

I have no idea where to get batteries from. Do you have to order them direct as OcUK and other competitors don't sell them

Thanks,
King

Ok according to the APC Website I need the APC 30 battery.

Anyone?

You can often find generic batteries with the same size, voltage and capacity in high street electrical componant stores.

I saved a fortune on a new 'apc' battery and ended up with exactly the same thing !

Take the old battery with you to compare...

BTW be carefull inside the UPS as it can have big nasty voltages....
