As is well known, lead-acid batteries have a limited lifespan, especially small capacity batteries, with a lifespan of only 2-3 years. However, APC UPS power supplies typically have a lifespan of 7-8 years, which means that the battery pack may need to be replaced during APC UPS use. Firstly, determine the warranty period (the warranty starting point for APC is determined based on the invoice date or factory date plus 18 months). During the warranty period, please contact 400 for resolution.
1.Determine the maintenance plan
When UPS malfunctions, the first step is to determine the cause, which is usually clearly stated in the instruction manual. According to the UPS beep sound, it is basically judged that the battery life has expired.
BX650 has a complex structure, and it is not recommended for customers to replace the battery themselves.
But for users with a foundation in electrical engineering and strong hands-on abilities, the natural repair solution is to do it themselves and have enough food and clothing.
2. Purchase batteries
Firstly, confirm that the battery specification for BX650 is 12V7Ah, and then proceed with the purchase. It should be noted that there are many counterfeit goods online, so it is important to identify them. The APCBX650CI-CN is equipped with an original battery pack model APC RBC110. If economically feasible, it is best to purchase an APC original battery box. You can contact an APC dealer at any time to purchase it.
3. Replace
Call APC customer service and say that this battery is difficult to replace. But is it really like this? Obviously, this is a big scam, probably because users are afraid of safety accidents if they replace it themselves. Actually, changing the battery is really simple
Turn off the UPS, cut off the mains power, disconnect the yellow built-in battery plug behind the UPS, remove the two screws on the bottom front panel of the UPS, push the panel down and remove it, cut off the positive and negative wires and connecting wires, and remove the old battery. Insert the new battery and reinstall it in reverse order.
