The first one that came with my UPS lasted me 8 years, the next one lasted almost 4. Purchase price in 2020 was 76 euros, now over a hundred... I don't know if it's worth that much money.

In 3 years and 2 months, my UPS sent me a message to replace it. The battery still holds because I have at least 2 minutes of autonomy (which is needed for the full backup of Facebook to give to the house), so I will keep it.

I will not buy the same one because it had two batteries like these Vision CP1270E for €14 and they sell it as APC with a cover, cables, and stickers. I kept the cables and the cover from the old one to do the conversion quietly.

If I can't find the Vision, I will buy two similar ones for about €30.

It's overpriced and the APC name is not worth the extra €70.

It goes without saying that it is not cheap. However, when you buy a product like an APC, you are investing in quality. It lasts at least 4 years, this is the second one I am replacing (so I have had the UPS for 8 years) and I have had no issues at all. It has more than paid for itself. And when I need a new UPS, obviously I will go for APC again.

Mine lasted 4.5 years. I got a new one and made the change in 2 minutes. It's definitely worth it for the performance it has and the lifespan

The bad thing is that every 3-4 years the battery needs to be changed, but you know that from the beginning, the application also states that it is recommended to change it after 3 years. It definitely depends on the use of the Ups, for example, it covers its costs for me.
