Re: great (IMO) vendor for UPS replacement batteries
Hi: Any Radio Shack should take them.. I take all my cell and computer batteries there. If they are lead acid, however, I'm not sure Radio Shack handles that type but you could call to check. ...

Re: great (IMO) vendor for UPS replacement batteries
Check for a store in your area called Batteries Plus, also. They not only sell replacement batteries for most brands of UPS's (pretty decent prices too) but they'll take ANY recyclable battery in, too. This is a franchise chain, so there may or may not be one in your area. (I've used them to replace 3 UPS batteries in the past several years--different UPS's of course. :) ) Later...Howard -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: great (IMO) vendor for UPS replacement batteries
I have an APC that is dead. Anyone know where I can take the battery to recycle? I take mine to a place called Interstate Batteries here locally. They are a national chain (sponsor a NASCAR stock car and all of that), and they sell replacement batteries. I've revived quite a few dead UPSes this way that I've picked up for bargain prices.

I handed in a fair-size (not quite automotive) lead-acid battery from my cordless lawnmower at Sears. They're a drop-off point for the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation ( http://www.rbrc.org/index.html ) which means they take NiCad lithium ion *small* lead-acid, but since they have the automotive center, too, they'll take larger lead-acid batteries.

Re: great (IMO) vendor for UPS replacement batteries
I'm happy with these guys: http://www.batterysupplyco.com/ I have 3, originally mid-range APC UPS surge protectors. They are getting old, on one the battery is dead, the others are getting there (maybe 5 or 6 yrs old at this time). I've been replacing my APC batteries for awhile now and this time around (my UPS died 2 weeks ago) I ended up buying an APC brand replacement from buy.com. It was a few bucks cheaper than almost any no name generic replacement and the APC replacement contains a free packing and shipping sticker for a UPS return of the old battery to be recycled. This to me adds in another 5 or 6 bucks to the value of the APC brand replacement over the generic you can get from companies like the one above. I've dealt with them and had the same problem. I entered my model UPS and they sent me the wrong battery. They were quite good about returning the wrong one and getting me the correct battery, but it took almost 3 weeks from when my UPS first beeped until I had a new battery inside.
