So, used batteries should be sent to a junkyard somewhere in Africa, ensuring your internal components remain shiny and scratch-free rather than refurbished, right? Who cares about the environment, especially when it's far from where you live..

I had the smaller APC 500 from about 2017-2019. Then upgraded to an APC Back-UPS, 950VA (new model) about 3 years ago. I had it unplugged for a couple weeks then the battery died. And I'm finding it impossible to find a replacement battery. Been about 9 months now. Contacted APC and get no response. Went to my local PC shop and they just tried to sell me a new one. And said they don't deal with APC even though I literally bought it from them.. I got the battery out last week and firstly I was surprised that the battery was so small compared to the unit. - Looking up the brand and model of the battery, Firstly that it was 1/4 the price that APC list them for. But every website I tried didn't have the same model. I got a reply today from Leoch Battery UK who said they don't stock this battery model in the UK. (So why do APC sell this model here if you can't replace the battery...) So my only option would be (A) to pay £80+ for a £20 battery from APC. (B) Have one shipped from America. or (C) Order a similar battery and hope it doesn't explode as connecting my £2K PC to a power supply that might have the wrong type of battery installed just seems like a stupid idea. - If anyone can help, It is a.. APC Back-UPS, 950VA with a DJW12-9.0 battery. Also to note the battery doesn't even have the APC sticker on it.

In order to get a pure sine wave you need the APC Smart-UPS or APC pro models

I would like to know what is the maximum distance the HackRF signal can transmit?

It’s called recycling. These unit are not the exspensive lol

Talk about first world problems.... small scuff marks on perfectly fine working battery, which you won't even see while the unit is in service. And you managed to fit the battery back just fine. So not all that bad, honestly.

Very interesting and informative video. I had a dual rate white meter from 1980 with a separate time switch on E7 tariff. The time switch failed about 3 years ago, fortunately stuck on low. I reported it to my energy supplier who fitted a dual rate smart meter. The smart meter internal clock has drifted and is now about 5 hours slow. I live about 15 miles from Droitwich Longwave Transmitter and still listen to R4 on 198m. I expecting a close down 30 April but it didn't happen and looks like it's just the Teleswitch service that preventing shut down until at least June 2025. I wonder how much that's costing?

Great, have you ever used ODR-EncoderManager presents a web-based interface that allows the user to create, manage and run audio and PAD encoders, and presents a HTTP API to update Dynamic Label Segment and Slides.

Anyone now where I can find the cable to connect rear camera with the car ?

Dear Sir, Your video was FIRST Class for the EMPIRICAL IN-CAR Reversing Camera for our 2022 MK 8 Fiesta, I would like to give you and the supplier EMPIRICAL IN-CAR Ltd from Scotland a 10 out of 10 star rating, the web site the service and support together with clear photo instructions and the use of the OBD Programmer, i followed your video and the the instructions supplied by the supplier to the letter the system work 100% fantacilly, and with the 40.00 credit when returning the OBD make the system value for money. I would and have already highly recommended this reversing camera to all my friends that own the Fiesta with Sync 2 and 3. Well done first class quality product, regards Lester Millard Fenland "Cambridgeshire"

£279 is a bit ritch ,considering you can get cheaper ones

Mine works fine and has done for 3 years so how you can call it a scam from a reputable company is beyond me, you haven't even plugged the thing in and you a ranting, seriously.

The case is likely older but it might have a new battery... I have had 5 of these units in various power sizes, and never had an issue. I pre-buy spares because they do wear out over time . That is normal.

Hola me estan cobrando 430 euros por la instalación con la camara y todo solo yo tengo que pagar 430€ estara bien el precio?

Strange indeed. I bought my 1500GI Unit in 2021 and have had no issues and the battery backup works great. Maybe its because the battery is different?

02:37 £150 is that all..? I've just spent £2300 on a new UPS, although I must confess it's a bit bigger than yours, 3000VA but we've got a lot of stuff to power that needs to stay up 24/7. TBH we've used APC UPSs for years here, and have only ever once had a problem, and that was after 5 years of continuous use, and we give them stick here..! Never come across one with a used battery in it though, that is weird.

We just replaced our serverroom UPS system with APC's. All are SmartUPS X3000 Rack models from APC and all had bent components, batteries not fitting correctly, crooked screws, even rust and signs of moisture in one of the boxes

Latest apc's 2023 all of them and I mean all of them... suddenly start beeping ... 9 out of 10 they are in warranty and for compensation they sent you bigger model. I will never buy apc again. Started testing some Legrand.. will see how it goes

WOW.. This guy is not smart at all lol. so what if the battery encloser has wear on it.. My new car I bought had 7 miles on it too.. func fact some one else drove it, test drove it too.. nothing is "new" live with it..

How do you know that the battery has been used before testing? What was APC's response to your comments?

Super cool! Now all you have to do is install 3D File Viewer (FSV)! (i.e.: "i know this, it's a Unix system!")

As I've often said there is nothing you cannot find out about how to do something on RUclips. Well done, brilliant!!

I think you've misread the battery built date, @3:50 you can see 200714NV21 - I think it's batch 2007, build 14-Nov-2021....I might be wrong but I am sure it's not from 2007. The condition does look odd though, but perhaps during the ongoing raw material issues we've experienced since covid, perhaps they're using poorer quality plastics or just not taking good care in the factory.

How do you over charge a battery? Shouldnt the battery turn off after it fully charges?

Rear view mirror is a great invention 😂

You did mistake the title of your video. Should be, Never buy from this store, it's a scam. The problem is not with APC, it's from where you did buy it.

That’s why you don’t trust idiots see when I go to Amazon it if I see anything fishy I won’t buy but it has a certified store like for example Xbox

How did you get the front off? I'm scared to pull it to hard in case it breaks, but it isn't coming off easily either.

My parent's got one of these for my mum's office PC. It came with the battery completely discharged and even after charging for days the battery would only supply the load for about 10 seconds. Have been using a cyberpower UPS myself and have no such issues.

Hi, how did you get the compass on your screen in idle mode?

Finally someone who held good camera angle for back one thank u I’ll sub

You would think since he opened the box he would have looked at the instructions, before filming, so he knows what bit of the loom goes to where. Other than that very informative and well done.

It looks beautiful. Long ago, when transputers were popular, I used to admire a bunch of LED lights. I got carried away with the idea of ​​building my own parallel machine with a bunch of MC68000 processors. I never made one. Today, when the CPU has more cores, I don't even have to imagine anymore... I had the same idea for Front Panel a long time ago, but I never managed to take the time to make something similar. I'm wondering if there is a possibility that the LEDs turn on according to some event inside the computer? For example to show cpu, memory or hdd usage or something similar? For 7-segment displays would be better to show some useful value since the voltage doesn't change significantly. Maybe to show CPU usage or CPU and case temperature? This way if they show any deviation greater than 5v and 12v, it may be too late to react... ... There are now relatively cheap LED matrices (managed with an RPI PICO microcontroller) and I thought I would use a few pieces to make a case similar to the CM-2 machine. The biggest problem for me is to find information on how to get data about memory usage (memory map) or about communication between processes, which would be nice to see in graphic mode on the LED panel (each LED to represent a part of memory or a process or ... )! Does anyone have experience with this?

1. Never buy electronics from unauthentic stores. 2. The product could be replaced by the deliverers. (You don't know whose hands the product passed through when it got to you. This problem can happen at ANY store. There are not honest people everywhere.) 3. Even after production, errors and defective products may appear that have passed the inspection filter and are then sent to the stores. 4. Points 2 and 3 are true for EVERY SINGLE store.

APC is really reputable brand. You can not judge the batteries by scratched box. If you think they are old, go ahead, measure them. If they idd dont comply with APC battery standards (which are high) then complain to the seller. I believe APC has a recycle program, they take old batteries, use boxes, discard cells and replace them.

Thats a reconditioned battery, as many are now

for mud flaps this is the best video. thank you 🙂

Clickbait bullshit. Been a APC customers for 20 years, never ever had issues with them. Dead reliable and good customer service. Stop throwing crap like this on the internet, selling it as "the one and only truth".

That batterery is not used. The scratches will be just because you have such a mass with the lead and shiny plastic where it has been handled and transported. The so called bulges are no sign it has been used.

I just watched a video teardown of an APC backup that had loud internal arcing. The culprit? The power supply transformer was wound with aluminum wire. Since you can't solder aluminum the external leads were wrapped around the aluminum transformer coil ends and globed with solder in an attempt to hold them in place. Very bad and dangerous idea. Shame on APC...!

It’s insanely awesome man but yeah i wonder where did you get that front panel from

Though i have no experience with APC's products, one thing i found suspicious is that attached quality-check certificate - I've seen similar instances but on refurbished products. Additionally - that awful alignment of the sticker on the battery makes me doubt it was put on like that in the factory.

Honestly these batteries are false economy. Every dam week I'm getting call outs to replace these batteries because UPS is making loud beeping sound. One of the site has to have it replaced every 6 months. false economy

Maybe someone did a return and stole the new battery, swapping in their own used up one.

That battery doesn't look any dissimilar than any other new battery and doesn't look used at all. A used battery would be dirty, more severely scratched/scuffed up, have terminals with wear marks (scratches) showing they have been previously connected, and typically but not always have corrosion around the terminal area. Those "scratches" are nothing more than handling, installation, and shipping artifacts - the battery isn't firmly secured in the battery bay from movement nor is there anything to prevent the light scuffs/scratches during installation/removal. Battery bulge? I don't know what you expect the side to look like but that's not bulge, that just the witness of the internal ribs/structure of the battery. As for the sticker, all APC batteries are slapped with a sticker with the APC logo. APC doesn't manufacturer their own batteries, they get them from a battery vendor - they're a UPS company not a battery company - and they slap a sticker on them to make them an official APC product.

Thanks for the clickbait

Most new lead acid batteries are recycled from older used batteries, at least in the US that's how it works. This might be the case in your country as well

Could you share the latest version of the code for the Arduino and the pin configuration for the arduino to a max7219 panel. Thanks.

you can always find new batteries and buy a new

ok. you obviously don't know how they work. I bought one of those APC UPS from walmart and it's perfectly fine. Don't judge a product by one faulty system you bought. Not all of them are bad.
