Why should I get this battery instead of a considerably less expensive Universal Power Group (UPG) battery with the same ah rating?

VMAX batteries will be better for several reasons. Even though the amp hours are the same, all VMAX USA batteries use a tin-lead alloy in their plates vs. calcium-lead alloy used in cheaper batteries. Also, the metal plates used in VMAX batteries are thicker. This results in a higher quality, longer lasting, and heavier battery (For example the VMAX857-35 weighs 25 pounds, the UB12350-D5722 weighs 22.6 pounds, both are 35Ah). The VMAX also includes a standard carrying handle, and features a tough and durable outer casing made of extra strong ABS plastic.

depends on application, For an RV ( this is what I use it for) the smaller size and glass mat makes it easy to mount and not as sensitive to bumps and vibrations. I first year with this battery I found it to be very good.

That's a good question to which I do not have the answer. What I can tell you is the battery has been in my UPS for about six months with no problems.

The AH rating is a measure of how long the battery will last, i.e., its capacity. As long as the voltage matches this will work. If your present battery is a 5Ah battery and you replace it with a 4Ah battery, the battery will expend its charge slightly faster than if you had a 5Ah battery. Likewise, it you installed a 10Ah battery, it would last twice as long as the 5Ah battery. FYI, typically the price of a higher Ah rated battery, the more the cost.

You need to go to the APS websight and plug in your model in the battery replacement indicator. The site address is: http://www.apc.com/tools/upgrade_selector/index.cfmThis is how I determined the correct battery for my UPS.

I would say that either one of these batteries is about the same..have used both of them with no problems.

From what I can find, they are similar and have the same power rating. I don't know what the exact differences are.

Nope. It is better to buy something that is rated higher. In case there is a need of higher power consumption. Besides, it is better to be over-rated then under in such scenario and prevents any of this eletrcial items from burning out. :)

Totally agreed!!! so I'm planning to buy the spare battery...I think Amazon needs to correct the misleading information regarding the specification of UL30A!!

I have a BackUPS XS1500, and the UB12180 is the right battery for that. I don't know if the SmartUPS line takes the same battery.

Joanne, I see no one answered your questions, but this is the same model number I have. Did you end up getting this battery? If so, does it work okay? Thanks!

I don't think the charger cares about the battery's capacity (Ah). Think of the battery like a bucket and a garden hose like the charger. The bucket can be any size, the hose will just take longer to fill it up. I don't know why you would want to use a significantly smaller/larger battery though - just get an appropriately sized UPS. Here's more info about the 850: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/spec-sheets/CyberPower-datasheet-CP850PFCLCD.pdf

I have heard that but cannot confirm. If you do a google search both batteries come up as equal.

This is the 4.0 Ah battery. It has a longer run time and it is slightly heavier than the 3.0 Ah battery.

yes, they are not as good, u have less run time then the $120 each battery. If you are looking to sell it they are fine if you use it all day every day go with trojan or jazzy battery

Unfortunately, no one can answer that except the sellers. Each battery listing will have multiple seller options, so look for sellers with good ratings and return policies. Check out their listings and contact them, or just go with one that has good ratings if you don't mind taking the risk.

Lynda, I did a quick search and found that a Uniden Battery BT-1021-BBTG0798001 is advertised on Amazon as an alternate for the BT-1021. However, if I were you, I would contact Amazon for more help, because there are just too many unknowns for us consumers to decide which alternate is the proper one. BTW, check your specs.; I think the 300 amps is really 300 milliamps. If I'm correct, then this battery may be just what you need. Copy the following link and past it into your browser NEW!
