Beiter Professional Grade DC Power Rechargeable Replacement Battery for APC Back-UPS XS 1300VA BX1300LCD

Bruce: I purchased these batteries at a lower cost alternative to "factory replacement" batteries for my APC Back-ups XS 1300. They installed easily and seemed to work fine. I kept noticing that my computer would be turned off occasionally but thought it was updates. It was not the updates. The batteries in my APC Back-ups XS 1300 were dead. The batteries lasted 15 or 16 months not the 36 to 60 months like they were advertised. Cheaper price to start but died way short of its expected life. Due to that I did not buy these again and chose the more expensive "factory replacement" batteries. I would not recommend these batteries to a anyone else due to their short life.

KitelessKiteless: So far so good, fit perfect in APC Back-Ups XS 1300. These batteries got reasonable reviews and were not the cheapest. But for the reviews it was worth spending a little more and these are still substantially cheaper than the official APC batteries. I noticed that some of the other cheaper batteries leaked since these batteries are mounted on their side. I didn't see any reviews of these leaking so my hopes are high.

Attached to this review are pics of the the batteries. I was happy to see the attachment cable to run the batteries in series. It was a little thin though so I used the one off the APC batteries. I was also happy to see it came with double sided sticky tape as well to put the two batteries together. I have better tape than it came with but decided to use what it came with.

Everything fit perfect and the batteries had a little charge on them. The UPS was able to cold start. I plugged it into the wall and it charged right up.

The battery with the blue labeling is the old APC battery with the sticker peeled off. If the batteries fail/leak what ever I'll update the review. Oh one last thing. My load on this is about 55 watts. It's my 2 drive FreeNAS...

Peter Lemieux: The original APC battery is a single unit, but this comes as two separate batteries with a short cable to connect them together. It took me quite a bit of effort to slide these batteries into the compartment without the connectors coming off their contacts. I finally resorted to wrapping them with clear package tape to keep them secure. In retrospect it would probably have been helpful to lash the two batteries together with the tape as well.

Otherwise it charges up and works as expected. The apcaccess utility for Linux reports that I can expect 27.5 minutes of run time at my 9.0 percent load capacity.

Bob: 5 Stars all around. I actually have a 1250VA LCD backup unit. These batteries are good for the following:

•BN1250LCD
•BR1200LCDi
•BR1500LCDI
•BX1300LCD
•BX1500LCD

APC uses a lot of the same batteries in many of their units. If you are looking for one of the listed...go for it. These batteries fit, were fully charged and work very well...just like the originals.

5 Stars to Beiter PC Power. Vicki was great to work with. We went back and forth on many emails and made sure that I purchased the correct product. You can rest assured...Beiter PC Power aims to please and service you the correct way.

An investment well worth it! My old 1250VA is new again...

computergeek: Perfect replacement for APC batteries. Costs half the price of APC brand and works perfect. Pay attention while removing the leads from the old batteries since no instructions are included. Terminals are correct size and leads fit nice and snug. I have not tested run time but the display shows about the same number of minutes. Installed in less than 10 minutes and very easy.
