Replace CyberPower 1500PFCLCD UPS Batteries

- Learn how to replace the battery(s) in a CyberPower 1500PFCLCD (CP1500PFCLCD) UPS. Basically, it's as simple as removing two screws, sliding off apanel, removing a connector, pulling out the battery(s), and then doing it in reverse.
You have two options for sourcing the batteries:
1) The official CyberPower branded replacement:
If your serial number starts with CXX: amzn.to/4ddnbRm
Or if it starts with CR9, CXF, or CQC: amzn.to/49QdIwb. These are typically twice as expensive as buying non-CyberPower branded batteries.
2) Aftermarket (non-CyberPower brand) replacement: amzn.to/4dbvQUg (you need two of these, and then you reuse the tape and connectors from the original battery). Note that you basically just need two 12v 9Ah SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries, which there are many brands to choose from; I've simply had good luck using the ExpertPower EXP1290's (linked above) in the past, so I continue to use them.

Bought this device used with no battery for 25$ and got the batteries from amazon for 44. Thanks for this video on how to remove and install.
Yep, it's that time for me as well. The video was done just in time. I'll be ordering my batteries tomorrow.
Thank you, this was just what I needed! Saved me a bunch of time and money.
Great instructions. Thanks!
Mine is completely dead. Went to power the PC and nothing, then checked connections, pressed power on the UPS, nothing, removed it from the loop plugged in the system normally and everything works. Plugged the UPS into another outlet and still nothing, unplugged, no beep, it seems to have died completely. Not even a year old and we didn't have any power events last night.
Mine was completely dead, wouldn't do anything when I pressed the buttons. I tried unplugging the battery, and plugged the ups in without the battery connected, and it turned on. I'm assuming the battery shorted out. Replaced the battery, and good as new.
So if you have a new one. You could splice the plug and add extra batteries, correct?
Replaced batteries on my 1500PFCLCD and it doesn't last more than a couple of minutes at full load on my pc. The fun part is that if I put back the old batteries,they last more than 10 minutes at full load...
Tried to swap batteries at the store,they gave me another couple,and every battery shows 12.7 volts,but exactly like the other two,they don't last more than two minutes.
The ups display,rapidly decrease the battery percentage,if I disconnect it from the wall,but if I turn off my pc,it rapidly turns back to 60%...
I don't know what to do...
How long are you letting it charge before you put a load on it? It's supposed to charge a full 8 hours before you use it. What are the source of the batteries? There are some cheapo/counterfeit ones out there.
were the batteries 9ah? they might have been a smaller size
Thank you so much! This helped a lot! 🙏🙏🙏
Mine is doing2 beeps intermittently. Can’t figure out what that means. Thanks for the video
Awesome stuff 👍
Good video. Thank you.
How long do your original batteries lasted ? And new ones ?
Thank you !
you're supposed to perform the UPS self-test every month or so and replace them when the self-test fails. Usually 3 to 4 years tops in residential use from my experience.
Great video
Is three years about the life of the original batteries? Thanks.
I don't have long term experience with SLA batteries in UPS's yet, but 1-3 years is what cyberpower themselves state on their website, so I'd say you're correct based on that! (www.cyberpower.com/in/en/knowledge/faq#:~:text=The%20battery%20lifespan%20depends%20on,years%20depending%20on%20environment%20conditions.)
Mine finally gave up, which is how I ended up finding this video to figure out the right battery size, the original batteries lasted 9 years on mine. In all these years there only was a few instances of power failures that lasted long enough to require shutting down the computer before the batteries ran out, so I never completely drained the batteries, which might have helped them last longer.
Now I'm considering getting LiFePo ones but the cheap HWE LifePo 12v 9A batteries I'm looking at only come with a 1 year warranty, which doesn't instill much confidence.
[edit] and thinking about it, weight doesn't matter in a UPS so there might be no real benefits to using LiFePo instead of Lead-Acid.
I agree with Veniceinventors. Hence why I am looking this up now. I bought it in November 2015 ($149, it goes on sale periodically) and it started giving me issues this year, I thought it was because I got a 1300 watt power supply. I can see from the Cyberpower software I do not pull more than 850w (not very often at that, mostly like 200). I can say the original batteries lasted way longer than expected and have served me well. I have only had ~ 3-4 shutdowns dues to power outage (I have my PC shutdown at like 40% battery (need enough juice to charge my phone in a major outage)), many more "brown outs" or 2-3min outages.
Will these batteries work for the 1350PFCLCD model? I assume the main difference is the wattage on my dead unit is lower, but will it hurt putting in the larger batteries?
the issue is that the batteries linked in the description will likely be a different phsyical size and won't fit -- the 1350PFCLCD uses 12v 7Ah batteries (per www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/pfc-sinewave/cp1350pfclcd/) which have batteries that are stated to be different dimensions than that of the 1500PFCLCD official replacement batteries
@@jameshasanswers It's funny that 1500PFCLCD is stated to be using 12 V / 9 Ah batteries when the ones that are inside (at least in these old units with 2 USB-a ports) are actually 7 Ah (according to the PDF specs by B.B. Battery for HR1234W battery). Maybe the updated 1500PFCLCD (with USB-C on the front) uses a bigger battery as standard. I know the official battery pack model doesn't match with the old model (also has a different connector). EDIT: I just checked the spec sheet from 2012 when I bought my unit and back then they listed it as "12V 8.5AH x 2" which is at least a little bit closer to what's actually inside.
Why would 12v batteries be in series to = 24 volts, on not increase capacity. Seem opposite of what a UPS is for.
Theoretically, UPS batteries can be used in parallel, but due to the individual differences of batteries, service life and other factors, it will not be easy to balance between batteries, which will affect the service life significantly. So wiring up in series is the easiest way. Voltage / Capacity doesn't really matter here because its all about the amp draw given the load when the UPS is active.
I want to replace the SLA batteries for Lifepo4 when mine dies
how old are your SLAs?
@@jimmybrad156 about 4.5 years so it had a good run
Good video, thanks.
