Today I woke up and my computer was off. After investigating I found out my UPS batteries were dead but I was able to replace them and I show you how in this video. Anyone of any skill level or technical knowledge can do this. Please leave questions below in the comments.

▼ Questions & Answers ▼
Q) Your title is contradictory since you installed expensive batteries
A) No, actually it’s not since I still saved $600 over buying a new UPS and it now has better batteries with a better warranty in place of the originals.

Q) Why didn’t you just sell the UPS for $20 and buy a new consumer grade one for less then $180 (the cost of the batteries)
A) Simple, there is no 2200VU capable 20amp consumer UPS for under $600 that even comes close to the specs this thing has. And let’s not forget if I did buy the generic batteries I would have done this same upgrade for $50 and even state that in the video so people can decide what they want to do.

Q) When you installed the new batteries it looks like the insulation was coming off one of the spade connectors, aren’t you worried about a short.
A) I didn’t notice this until after I edited the video, but since the batteries cannot move around in the case there is no chance of contact with metal and even if there was it’s just a ground so it would take the least path of resistance which would be the actual ground path. Might present some noise into the system though if it actually happened but I’m not confident it will.
