it is not necessary to pay a premium for a APC labeled battery, just go with a reasonably priced option that has a name brand and good reviews and you will be fine.
Works great, came on time, was well packaged and a fair price.
Was just what we needed , great price and arrived early
Amazon's price was very competitive and convinced me to take another chance.
Fits perfect and the price was great with fast shipping.
The price that you can receive them on Amazon is great plus free shipping.
You can order other batteries that supposedly fit and are cheaper, but by the time shipping is paid on them they cost about the same as APC with free 2 day shipping if you are a Prime Member.

This product is top quality and remember you get what you pay for
I'd love to try another manufacturer's UPS unit to see if what APC offers is truly better quality.
I now have this new one installed in a BE350R (it says Back-UPS ES 350 on top of the unit) which passed its 'QUALITY ASSURANCE TEST' on 7/14/06
This particular new battery replacement looks like a refurbished item because the case is significantly scratched as if it had been previously installed.
Based on research, I discovered that APC utilizes a variety of battery manufacturers and slapped their labels on them and charges a premium.

The high surge of current caused the UPS to "stink" as it charged the battery.

The battery had the genuine APC label on it but was obviously produced by a third party manufacturer for APC since there were other markings underneath the label.
I love Amazon, but I was very disappointed with the two sentence version of 'tough luck pal -- take it your local hazardous waste' response to my desire to correct an error that was a result of unclear information on the part of the manufacturer.
Amazon graciously refunded the amount even though the battery is not a returnable item

thanks amazon

Frustration free packaging was nice, and kept product secure
