I purchased this battery to replace the 12 year old one in my APC Back-UPS 650 surge protector/battery backup unit. It is a direct (right to the brand name and specs) replacement. The only thing I had to do was bend the terminals up just a bit more for the connectors to fit and transfer the clear tab from the positive terminal of my old battery to the new one, not a problem at all just a note for others. The clear plastic tab is held on by 2-faced tape and probably is just an extra safety device from APC. I've seen many other `unknown' name replacement batteries but didn't want to gamble the safety of my computers and other electronics for the sake of a few dollars. This battery is the one you need as a -directreplacement for any APC unit's requiring a replacement battery with a part number of either `RBC3' or `Battery Cartridge #3. This is the -SAMEmanufactured battery you will get from the backup unit manufacturer except you will get it on Amazon.com for less than half the manufacturers price delivered.

I made sure my order screen said `Ships from and sold by Amazon.com' and even with the free shipping option, I had no problem receiving the correct battery.

A point of interest: These batteries are pretty much automotive batteries and are suppose to last 3-6 years under typical situations. How my original one lasted 12 years is anyone's guess but I do *NOT* recommend you try to get that much time from one. Mine was so badly expanded it was difficult to remove from the unit for replacement. Also, I have viewed a few photos of ones that expanded to the point of rupture beyond that recommended time frame. Get your battery replacement from Amazon.com and you'll save enough over buying from the manufacturer that you'll be able to replace them on time. Enjoy!

As far as recycling the old battery, you should be able to do so for free. I searched for `battery recycling' and found that most of the auto-parts stores in and around my town take these at no cost for proper recycling. Please, do the right thing.

I used this in my Verizon FiOS battery backup system. Fit properly and after an easy five minute install, it's up and running again. Unplugged the FiOS unit to test it and it seems to work fine.

Definitely recommended when you get that "Replace Battery" light on your FiOS battery backup unit.

I used this battery in a home made waterproof stereo system to carry around with me to the beach and other water activities during the summer. I purchased this speaker system http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003GSLDUO/ref=cm_cr_notf_fhv_prd from amazon and after a little research decided on this battery for my system. Its really compact and it lasts forever! I've played this thing literally all day long and never ran it down. I always keep the battery charged as much as possible as i've heard that is the best thing to do so i'm not even sure how long it will last in one sitting but i'm happy with the purchase and have no complaints on the battery.

I bought this for my APC backup and it's exactly what I needed. This is my second purchase. The first battery lasted about 5 years, which I think is pretty good.

the product is good as it is a direct replacement for the dead battery but the way it was packed in a box, with only a piece of buble wrap that only covered half of it, was terrible. you could tell the battery was bouncing around during transportation and ther terminals became flattened. but it appears to be fine since it is working lucky! whoever packed it did a lousy job!
