:-) I guess my question would be, do YOU buy name-brand batteries or are the aftermarket kits good enough?
The metal tray in which these batteries reside goes up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way on the outside. The batteries do not appear to be swollen, but they could be slightly swollen and provide just enough friction. I guess I really have nothing to lose if I use a small pry bar. After all I am currently planning on replacing the whole thing if I can't get the batteries out. :-) From: richardmccl...@aspca.org [mailto:richardmccl...@aspca.org] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 10:59 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: APC battery tray Whether or not an extra year of warranty is "worth it" or not, simply consider how much fun you've been having with this the past 2 days or so... -- richard "John Aldrich" <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> 04/05/2011 09:53 AM Please respond to "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> To "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Press this button if the "To" is a fax number.

It's looking like I'm going to have to replace it, tray and all, like APC intended. :-( Would you spend the extra money for the name-brand replacements (including the extra year of warranty) or go with the less expensive after-market solution that is supposed to be "compatible" with the RBC24 battery pack? -----Original Message----- From: Matthew B Ames [mailto:matthew.a...@qinetiq.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 10:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: APC battery tray Is possible the batters have started to expand and are now jammed into the tray? Check the voltage across the batteries, if it 0vdc (or pretty close) then you need not really worry about them shorting out, imho. -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: 05 April 2011 15:34 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: APC battery tray Any tips for getting the batteries out of the "tray" in an APC UPS? Our rackmount APC takes 4 batteries and they appear to be *glued* into the tray. The guy at Batteries Plus was shocked that he couldn't get 'em out with a screwdriver by prying on them. A friend on another list suggested soaking the bottom of the tray in Goo Gone, but I'm afraid that might short out the batteries or something even worse... Is that likely to be safe and does anyone have any clue what APC used to secure the batteries into the tray? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
