Battery
Can I purchase a replacement battery for this UPS (APC Back-UPS XS1300))? What is the part number? Can I buy it from Best Buy? Price?
The batteries available from APC are cost prohibitive. More than a replacement unit. Go to your local Batteries Plus store and pick up 2 each 12 volt sealed lead acid. Example: UPS Battery Replacement 12V 8Ah AGM Battery WKA12-8F2. It's easy to remove the battery pack from the UPS unit. Cut the tape hold the two batteries together, and then disconnect the wires. Make a note on how the wires are connected before hand, then rewire with two new batteries. Throw some tape back on, then re-insert the two batteries. My replacement batteries have lasted years longer that the original APC batteries.
