RE: OT: APC 2200VA Rackmount (3U) Replacement Batteries

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

I had to replace the batteries in my UPS too. I searched around for
the type I wanted and found Steatite to be superb for price.
RS/Farnell etc wanted around 25 quid per battery (12V 12AH) but I got
them for 12 quid each (+VAT of course) from Steatite. They do a 12V
7.0AH that might fit the bill. Datasheets are on the web.

Regards
Dave...

Well the story is as follows, had a big nasty smell lurking through the
house, thought it was the radiators but after a days worth of testing
I've found it is my big ups.

So I've pulled it out of the way and managed to reconnect all my
computer equipment off the mains again.  I took out the two million
screws in the top of the ups to see if I could see what the problem is,
and low and behold 3 of the 8 batteries are half melted.

Im hoping it hasn't damaged anything else as there not melted to
anything lucky only the battery case is a bit warped.  So does anybody
know where to get some cheap replacement batteries don't have to be APC
originals the cheaper the better.

The markings on the cells are as follows: Panasonic LC-R127R2R1 12volt
7.2Ah/20hr.

Any ideas?

Kind Regards,
Chris Bond
