Pros: I have purchased many of these genuine APC batteries. I know I pay more for the name, but once I got a bad one and they made it good. The "name" that you pay for is reputation, and APC has a good one. Packaging is outstanding.

Cons: No cons - comes with jumper installed and their clever plastic tab to remove and install.

Overall Review: Use this one in your APC UPS because they just work. Quick and easy to install while in operation.

Pros: They claim that if you buy their battery you keep the lifetime equipment protection, but there is a limit to the time for that.

Cons: The batteries are not as good as they used to be. My home units fail (I have six Smart Ups 700, and one 750) a few months after two years. APC batteries cost twice as much.

Overall Review: I have been tracking replacement dates for a lot of years so I have receipts to prove that the barely last through warranty. I have always used APC at work and at home. Their poor quality is making me reconsider my loyalty to them. There are a lot of other vendors for lower quality products.
