CyberPowerRB1290X2 UPS Replacement Battery Cartridge, Maintenance-Free, User Installable, 12V/9Ah

First, I want to say that most people (like myself) are hesitant to try changing their batteries on their own because they are not sure what model of batteries to buy. Also because they think that they are be hard to replace. Well, let me tell you right now that finding out which batteries you need is very easy, and actually replacing them takes no longer than 15 minutes.For people that don't want to read, these replacement batteries is for the CP1500AVRLCD model. Make sure the replacement batteries you get matches the serial number rule below (found this from doing a simple Google Search):RB1290X2 (for serial numbers that begin with “CTH” or “CXE”)RB1280X2A (for serial numbers that begin with “CPT” or “CPA”)Read on below for a much more detailed explanation on what to do if you're feeling hesitant...Let me tell you how to find out what batteries you need. Go do a simple Google search of your system's model. To do this, simply type what you see on the front end of your CyberPower battery. In my case, as seen in the images, I looked up "CyberPower 1500VA AVR". After that, you will come to realize that there aren't much similar batteries they sell, so my model only have one product code (CP1500AVRLCD) so i became sure this was what i have. Now, make sure to take note of your serial number because you are gonna need it to really confirm if the batteries you are getting is correct (check above for more details on this).Once you are sure that these are the batteries you need, then unscrew two screws on the bottom of the system, slide the front panel down... and it should come off. Beware that there is a flat cable that you need to unplug from the front panel first before taking the whole panel out. This is what connects to the screen. After doing so, unscrew the two screws in the middle, and you should be able to unplug the wires, and just pull out the batteries. Unplugging may take a little effort/strength because in my case i really had to pull hard, don't worry.. you won't break them. PLEASE remember which wire goes to where. There are only three wires total, so there shouldn't be any explanation on what to plug where needed. It's very straightforward... One word of caution is that these are live batteries, so whatever you do, don't touch both of the parts where we connect the wires at the same time with metal. It will cause a spark and you'll definitely be scared. But, Its fine to touch them with you hands one by one to be on the safer side. Now, just plop the batteries back into the case (same way how they were initially or look again on my images above to make sure). Screw the middle bracket back, and plug the flat wire back onto the front panel. put the front panel back on and don't forget the two screws you took off initially... Then you're good to go! plug it in and turn it on! Enjoy your fresh batteries, and be proud you saved around $100 for not having to buy a new system entirely!

These were replacements for my 9 year old UPS they work great could use better documentation though.

Working very well. Installation was troublesome because of absence of clear directions.

Saved myself ~100$ by putting replacing the batteries in my Cyberpower 1500AVRLCDa instead of buying a new one. Getting them changed was a bit of a hassle because of some bad screw mounting, but that's not the batteries' fault at all. Would recommend to everyone in the UPS market.

Easy to replace, works like factory once you do.

I have had my CyberPower UPS for 7 years, and was long past due to replace the battery. Once I received this replacement set of two battery cells I found installation straightforward and all looks good.BUT, I had difficulty getting this product. First, it was tricky to find the proper replacement. CP has many different ones for their various UPSs. At first I simply googled for replacements for my UPS model number. This led to a variety of different part numbers, and it wasn't clear if they differed in a significant way.Finally I went on the CP site and chatted with their support people. They referred to their battery replacement tool. That needed the serial number of my UPS, which is hard to get at when the UPS is in use. Eventually I had the exact model number, and the CP web page giving this had links to suppliers.But then when I clicked through to those links every one of them (including Amazon) was out of stock. I checked back periodically. It took over two months before they showed up in stock on Amazon. So I quickly ordered. Everything went quickly after that.Note that there are generic alternatives to the CP branded batteries. But because of the possible confusion of what is a compatible battery I elected to play it safe and stick with a CP branded battery.

Batteries are great. So far been installed 2 days. No issues with the batteries themselves. Still 100% charged.It is hard getting the wires off the battery terminals, no videos really helped just pulling hard and wiggling

My CP1500AVRLCD wouldn't work when the power went out, which was understandable since the UPS was several years old, but it still turned on when power was restored. I figured I would save some money and just replace the batteries. After installing them however, the UPS will not power on. Wasted nearly $100, non returnable. It's back to APC for me.
