Question 1

Is this product an APC OEM replacement battery or a comparable spec battery from another vendor?

Accepted Answer

This battery is an OEM replacement, as far as I could tell.  It has the APC label affixed to it, same connections, same style.  It does, however, arrive a little dusty as some users have commented.  It's already been put to use in a few storms and power outages as well without a hitch.

Question 2

Is this brand new or refurbished?  Also, is it original APC?

Accepted Answer

Battery I bought was the original APC brand and new (not refurbished). Please note that I bought it from Newegg, as that was the only option back then. I have never purchased anything from "marketplace" sellers that sell through Newegg, so I can not comment on their business practices.

Question 3

I have a Back-UPS XS 1300.  Is this the replacement battery?  It's twice the size of my whole backup unit

Accepted Answer

I bought this battery 2 years ago for a different APC unit than yours, and it has been giving me good service. If you do an internet search on "back ups xs 1300 replacement battery", without the quotes, you should find a link for the APC website which shows that the APCRBC109 battery is recommended for your backup unit.

Question 4

Is this the correct replacement battery for an APC UPS Pro 1500?

Thanks,
Jacqie

Accepted Answer

It is if your UPS is one of these model numbers:

Models Supported by battery Part Number: APCRBC109

BN1250LCD
BR1200LCDi
BR1500LCDI
BX1300LCD
BX1500LCD

I found this info on the APC website but this Newegg question/answer interface won't allow me to include the links.

Question 5

Is this the correct replacement for model BR1500G?

Accepted Answer

I bought this battery as a replacement for the battery in a BR1500LCD which has a different geometrical shape than the BR1500G which you are asking about. APC recommends these batteries as a replacement for the BR1500G: APCRBC124 and APCRBC124J.
