Listers,

  I recently found an APC 1400 VA computer un-interruptible power 

supply in the dumpster. I took it home and checked it out. These 

things retail for about $200. Turns out it had not one, but two 17 AH 

12 volt batteries, like those used in my RV-8A. The batteries were 

both bad. I called a friend and he recommended I 

check  www.gruberpower.com for replacements.

  I bought TWO of these batteries for $29.90 plus $25 for shipping. 

That's $54.90 total for TWO batteries. I've installed them in the APC 

and it now works great. The replacement batteries are "claimed" to be 

18AH, but they are exactly the same dimensions as the originals, so 

I'm sure that the higher rating is just smoke and mirrors. The only 

down side is that they have rather frail terminals for aircraft use. See

Price for one is $21.85 plus $12 shipping for a total of $33.85



Save even more if you need two or can find a friend to share with. See

I thought you might be interested. The batteries are manufactured in Vietnam.
