New batteries for UPS - Factory or secondary manufacture
-
I've dropped dozens of batteries off at Batteries plus, most of the time without buying anything and never paid a dime for disposal. I plan to do that again.
-
LOL...I have 4 UPSs on my desk that need batteries, now I have more choices of where to get the batteries!
-
I've got several here too. Good timing on the thread.

Physical UPSs are good for decades if not abused. Don't replace unless these is something wrong with them.
I have always replaced the unit not the batteries, especially if they are the old white APCs. Then again, I can hear the voice of the client, "it's only $20 more to get a new one"
So I just did a test online for the APC Back-UPS ES 550:
replacement: http://staples.com: $71.99, http://bestbuy.com $74.99 (Back-Ups 600)
battery: http://batteriesplus.com $29.99-34.99, refurbups.com $21.99 + 10.43 for UPS Ground shipping = $32.42
I'm sold on the idea of the battery replacement especially if I can tell the client that the units are still good.

Better for the environment too.
