Great video...no ridiculous music...nothing but useful info. Thanks !
James: This was really well done. Tried some others and found them deficient in details or full of "Life story" details unnecessary to success. Thank You!!!!
This was EXACTLY what i was looking for. Thank you!
You're the MVP for direct linking to a set with prime shipping on amazon. Fingers crossed that's really all that's wrong with mine.
Excellent instructive presentation to see as I await my replacement batteries to arrive. Thank you !
Found the same model UPS at my work that they were going to E-waste. Going to get new batteries and save me a couple hundred bucks. Thanks for the video!
Saved me so much money. Thank you very much!
Very helpful, made the battery exchange a breeze!
Exactly what I was looking for. TY
Thank you! Super helpful. Steve, Cary, NC
James you rock
THANK you god dang subscribed
Easy, Peasy, thanks!
Suggestion when reconnecting terminal wires you should explain terminal connections more slowly wire to wire terminal to batteries in parallel.
The batteries are wired in series, not parallel.
Thank-you!
Nice instructional video, thank you. What were the symptoms of teh CyberPower 1500 that indicated the batteries needed replaced?
Battery lifespan is only 1-3 years. His old battery didn't work anymore, probably. Mine is doing the same and I have to replace it now.
Ok, not how mine works and I have the CyberPower 1500VA also, but it is 7 years old. Mine has 2 screws, 1 on the front and 1 on the back, both are on the bottom of the unit. This allows the bottom portion of the side to come off and both batteries are exposed and can be easily disconnected. The only thing I don't know after prying the front cover off to NOT find batteries, is, did I mess it up and putting new batteries in there a waste of time, because I damaged it by prying off the front cover? Mmmm.......?
Of course I see this AFTER i purchased a new Cyberpower UPS to replace my old one lol
Was thinking getting larger battery , u think it will work or I have to get the right size battery, just feel like not enough to used…
as long as a higher capacity battery isn't physically larger than the originals, it'd be fine, but I believe you'd be hard pressed to find higher capacity at the same/smaller size
How often do these things die?
Exactly what batteries would you recommend, and where to buy them?
I posted links in the video description above - the 3rd party ExpertPower batteries are the ones I used (and am still using)
When I flip my cyber power 1500 VA on the light just flashes on it and this happened after a surge. Would replacing the batteries most likely fix this issue or do you think the system might’ve gotten fried?
for what it's worth, the display on mine would still turn on and show no bars for the battery capacity when my batteries were shot, so if I had to *guess*, I'd say it's fried (but again, that just my guess from limited experience!) - good luck!
Did you consider the battery-tender or charger option, before replacing them?
ah, I did not - but these were a few years old at that point, well within the expected lifespan from what I've read on various forums, so figured they were spent (though maybe they had some life still in them?)
The UPS is itself a battery charger (or "tender" if you prefer). If it cannot charge the batteries, then they are truly at their end of life and need to be replaced.
Do they have to be HRC1234W batteries or could I use my power sonic ps1270F2?
if they're 12v SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries, I *believe* it should be fine from a functional standpoint? That said, those appear to be a lower capacity at 7ah (vs 9ah), so they won't last as long -- and possibly more importantly, they'll likely be a different shape and may not fit (if they're longer or thicker), or if smaller, they'll be loose in the UPS itself. I'd suggest sticking with 9ah batteries.
Can I use the same replacement batteries for a 1350VA? If not, do you know which ones to buy? Thanks!
not sure without a full model number - for example, looking up CP1350PFCLCD, it appears that one uses two smaller sized 5.5AH batteries
odd how they would design a product using the battery mounted upside down. No maker of Sealed Lead acid battery recommend using battery upside down. any direction is fine, except upside down.
Just to confirm, these batteries are wired in series?
Yes.
Should note that not all CyberPower 1500VA UPS units are the same. I have a CyberPower 1500VA UPS but the batteries are accessed through a side panel, no need to remove front panel. Looks much different than this video. Batteries were still the same, fit, etc.
I think it’s an older model shown. I have the newer model as well
It is too expensive to repalce the battery. Can we still use the unit for surge protection without the battery?
Yes, but leave the worn out batteries installed so as to not confuse the UPS controller. You'll just get no more than a few seconds of run time when the power goes out.
@@warrenmassey80 Thanks. I think I just need to use it as Surge Protection
3 wires. 1. New 1 Black to new 2 Red, 2. New 2 Black to CONNECTOR. 3. New 1 Red to Connector.
this is very old tech , super heavy battery lol. ups need to update their product with lithium for a 99% weight reduction.
