Awesome, I have a ups that cost about $250 a few years ago, the battery must be done by now, I going to open it up and get the battery dimensions and pop a new one in for around $35
I have an old UPS here that no longer works. Not sure if it is the battery or the relay switches. I ended up buying a brand new APC UPS. Maybe I will try replacing the battery in my old one to keep it as a backup.
the UPS is throwaway. The batteries are always expensive even here in America. I bought some cheaper generic for mine that was supposedly better but was really trash so watch out for alternative batteries.
+Shawn Jones Oh yeah? I'm still hoping this replacement battery will serve me well. I've used some Newstar products in the past and found them to be a good quality. Their products are kinda at the mid-high end of generics.
+Timothy Rupe It's funny you should say that. I was wondering the same thing after watching my video lol. Good or bad, I always keep them and try to get them back to health or use for solar projects, so it wont go to waste :)
Good video. I have a RCT-650VAS UPS. Only my monitor and Wifi router connected to it. How long should a UPS be connected to the mains wall socket, to always be ready, for an unscheduled power outage, whilst working. Will my UPS battery performance be deteriorated, when i always keep it plugged into the mains wall socket. Kindly advise on the above questions. Thank you
Is it possible connect several batteries to the same ups in order to increase the ampers per hour? I make the question because I don't know if the UPS will be able to recharge all the batteries 🤔
lol. got the same issue. i have the 600va ups and cost 990pesos. got the replacement battery from motolite and the battery is slightly bigger and need some bit of hackin to fit it in. and its back to service. using it on my sureveilance system.
Hi i have 2ups if i turn on its just power then off .. is it possible that the battery need to be replace i check the battery its 12v we been using thing ups for 4years now
@@berniemac8413 You can use any size battery of the same voltage and type (ie: 12v, sealed lead acid). If you get a battery of the same dimensions, it will go inside the UPS. If it's larger, the battery must external to the UPS - just extend the wires (with no less than the gauge of the original wires that lead to the battery). The greater the VA, the longer it will last when there is a power cut.
And if you don't want to replace the battery. Connect them up to a car battery/solar bank,They make a good light duty inverter. Need to get a little creative with battery wiring and cooling. But it's a cheap inverter. Better than tossing it.
+Gadget Addict another very helpful video. tysm. UPS connected to solar battery bank and used as inverter would make a nice utube video.. i wonder how if it would perform same as cdr king inverter
i have a question about UPS. i'm planning to buy an ZERBA UPS 500w. it has a feature that you can plug an extra battery on the unit with 12V batt. its like a inverter if you dont have electricity (brownout) so my question is can i still plug the external battery and plug it in to the socket to charge the external battery? so that if brownout comes i have more juice to burn.
cool thanks never used one I do have those batteries hear where I used to work voluntary they used them in the emergency lights and every one has a battery to they have to every 2 years replace the battery I got two of these 12v 45cell 10min I have had my CB radio running on this battery for over 6hrs so they are pretty good they were going to be thrown out I charge it on a 30amp 14volt power supply checking to see if it fully charged at 14 volts and hold that over a few week so there pretty good similar to your battery one is Yuasa other is Centuary usually I use the Yuasa one but there the same
+Kriss Bartlett Good use idea! I think they can really last many years if you treat them right. It's just when you discharge them too far over and over, they kinda get destroyed. It's always nice to rescue a battery that's being thrown out. Even if it can't hold it's full charge, it probably still has some life left in it. Sounds like you have a pretty beefy charger!
its my power suply for the cb radio I got it of a armature radio man 20 yrs ago and it still going good no problem its suppose to be used on a liner in line with the radio make you get out really well I don't have one but I have a armature radio and that uses about 15 amps I got it in Cebu at a radio shop its a AT6666 search on you tube you see it working nice radio hanks see ya ok
+Julius Sanpedro The UPS was P1400 from cdrking. The video description has more information :) So the new battery was nearly as expensive as the UPS itself.
+Julius Sanpedro It depends on what you have plugged in and how far the UPS is willing to drain the battery. If you have a desktop computer plugged into it, maybe 5-10 mins. If you have just a modem and wifi router maybe a day. Basically you calculate the watt hours of the battery and then compare that to the load you want to run. Minus 10-20% for inverter loss and consider that the UPS probably wont run the battery down beyond 30-40% of its capacity.

I'm wondering if your old battery is still good, but that you had a bad connection from the corrosion.

In theory it should work however it depends on the amps of the charge controller. It will take longer to recharge but will work
Need to know after put new battery and charging ups on mode or off mode?? 🤔

Is it good to have a higher amp than lower amp into ups? Is it have any problem
Sir can i change it with bigger batteries?same w/ trucks?
Did you ever find the answer to your question? I’m thinking about doing the same.

Paolo Reysoma you can
If those are more or less the same as car batteries, which I think they are, you should probably remove the negative terminal (black) first.
hello. where did you buy the newstar battery?
Wilcon hardware :)
+Gadget Addict thanks man!
Simple answer: Disposables.
.... bad for the environment, but it's "too good (cheap) to be true"
No wonder why it's poorly designed XD
then stop using phones and pc its bad also for environment when gadget stop working

How long did the cdrking battery lasted for you?
+SEELE01 Around 1.5 - 2 years. Pretty short. But I kind of abused it by running it completely empty during numerous power outages.
how much that ups?

+Gadget Addict how many hours that long last the battery?

batts are avail MUCH cheaper,, google it an o NOT buy brand name ripoff!
