    I just love it when APC decides to glue the battery into the UPS. APC wants you to throw away the entire UPS and buy a new one (totally wasteful). I've tried Goo-Gone, which has worked for me once on a UPS model where the batteries were glued to a slide-out tray. For the APC Back-UPS ES 750, APC glued the battery inside the UPS! I can remove every module inside the UPS, but of course, I can't remove the battery. I wish I would have known that prior to ordering new batteries.

      Sorry to hear that. What year was your UPS ES 750 made?

    We need a Li ion replacement for these. I wonder if a Lithium battery made for a power tool could be made to work?

    Cyberpower threw an alarm tonight that wasn't stopping - it stopped delivering power. ouch. Luckily I still had 2 batteries on hand still. I have a older cyberpower rack mount - I put some new batteries in - but it felt like the unit was running TOO hot.. (I don't recall how it ran previously). I did notice most of the wires with the clear plastic covers were looking pretty brown. :(

      Oh man. Time to let it go or replace the components. I'd say let it go as it's not worth the risk.

      I know how that is. I’d keep a close eye on it though. I’ve seen ups units burn up.

      The was the concern I had when I replaced the battery in an APC BN600G recently. I ordered the replacement battery from APC for that model but when it arrived that specific model was not displayed in the instructions. The two batteries were identical in size and appearance, but the no specifications were listed on the batteries in insure they were compatible. 120V 5A 600VA 360W was specified on the case. But not on the batteries. I bought a multimeter to test the replacement for compatibility but was unable to figure out how to use it.

    Next you’re gonna tell us we can just recharge the batteries instead of throwing them away every power outage… seriously man if anyone doesn’t realize they can swap UPS batteries they deserve to lose the money
