APC UPS Battery life

[Silicon Si]

My Apc smart-ups 750 has got a battery failing warning so I have ordered some Lucas replacement batteries, the current batteries are only 2 years old i can't remember the make until i swap them out but they are supposed to last 3-5 years, does anyone have experience of this?

Think its only had 2 ten minute power cuts since it was installed, its probably the batteries, in fact this one may have been refurbished with 'new' batteries when i bought it, I will see whats inside when the replacements arrive.

I replaced the batteries today, it had Lucas batteries the same as the new ones i bought!
