[popcorn]

I have Tech-com UPS 600kvanow the battery does not hold for even 1 second with or without load.Hence its useless to have that UPS.the new UPS costs around Rs. 1300.What is the cost of new battery?Can that device battery be replaced? Or I just dump it?

Got the battery replaced just now costed about Rs 1300 ( minus old battery for Rs 100 each). Hopefully will get a good backup.
Battery are actually costing only Rs 600 there is another Rs 100 tax on it...
Warranty on the exide batteries as per dealer is only one year though.
thanks again all for your help

My 2 yrs old APC ups giving ZERO backup now. This is my 3rd Unit in the past 6 yrs.
The battery doesn't last for more than 2 yrs.
Should i try to change my battery or go for a NEW one.
Mine is a 650 va BED TYPE which used to give 30-40 mins backup for my PC.
Now it costs 4000+
Shall i go for NUMERIC brand?

If you're sure the UPS has not gone bad, it's better off buying a new battery. Shouldn't cost more than 1k.

I have a D-Link (yes that's right :rofl: ) I have changed the battery 3 times i about 7-8 years, theres nothing wrong with the circuitry its just the battery. Most of these battries last around 2 - 2.5 years anything more is a bonus.

I had a D-Link too, called Digipower right? I now use it to charge my bike's battery as I got an APC 1KVA UPS
