UPS batteries and battery replacement

Replacement UPS batteries can be purchased from us, usually for next-day delivery. Recycling? Click Here

To determine the correct battery for your APC UPS, click here to use QUICK SELECT, or call us.	If you need replacement batteries for a Dell, HP or Compaq UPS, click here.

Please call if you have any doubts, as we are unable to accept returns on incorrectly ordered batteries.

UPS units contain one or more batteries and use these to supply power when the mains supply is lost. As with all battery technology, these batteries have a limited life. Factors including the ambient temperature, the number of discharges, the number of switches to and from battery power and the equipment power draw all have an effect on the life of the battery, so it is not possible to determine how long they will last.

To allow for this, most APC units have hot-swap battery packs and battery condition detection circuitry. If the picture of a battery with a cross through it or the associated LED lights up on your UPS, it is indicating that the battery needs replacing and will probably not provide the full run-time in the event of a power loss.

For instructions on replacing the batteries in your unit please refer to the User Manual. Do not attempt to change batteries or open a unit unless you have checked the manual for your exact model. Some units do not have user-replaceable batteries, and mains voltages may be present within the case even when they are disconnected from the mains. For information about Extended Run-time batteries, please refer to the How to Choose section.

NOTE - BATTERY RECYCLING: When you receive a replacement APC battery, it includes instructions on how to return the old battery for recycling. THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE INCORRECT- DO NOT RETURN BATTERIES TO THE STOCKPORT OR QUEENS STREET ADDRESSES.

Instead, please use the address on the right >>> We have reported this anomaly to APC.

Please note that APC pay for the recycling but not the shipment costs. If you have any questions about this, please contact APC technical support on 0800 279 9254. Alternatively, you may find you have battery disposal/recycling facilities locally.
