I have 2 UPS’ that have expired batteries. The manufacturers want crazy amounts of money to replace them, and a friend recommended I look online to see if I can get them elsewhere. However, the sites all seem so sketchy. Have any of you had good luck with third party battery sites? Obviously a bit nervous about safety.


We have a local ‘battery’ store where you bring in your appliance with dead batteries, say a cordless drill, and they will refurbish it with a replacement battery. Sometimes the refurb process is more expensive than just outright buying a new appliance, so you have to use your judgement.
