Hey, Hartmut & Bill & MUUG <br>
<br>
The Battery Man does carry a surprisingly (remarkably) thorough
stock, and, for that, deserves our custom. <br>
Alexander Battery in Mississauga is no longer go-to, for odd
batteries. <br>
<br>
However, if budget is constrained, consider:<br>
Prairie Battery<br>
1280 Border St - 633-3500<br>
<br>
PB's Brandon office has served me well, through a couple of marquee
changes over almost 3 decades, for everything from ancient Israeli
Tadiran 3.6v blocks for 486 & earlyP1 mbrds (at less than half
wholesale, in the day), to the ubiquitous cr2032 (mbrd cmos) buttons
(at ok price 5-per card), and, yes, onward to the gel-cel bricks, at
comfortable pricing. These latter are likely the ones you seek, and
they usually stock standard-industry rated and medical-app rated
versions of the much-more-common gel-bricks. <br>
<br>
If indeed you are needing messy (liquid) lead-acid .. PB's still
good. <br>
But I will bet you a cruller you may only need sealed gel cel units.
<br>
<br>
It should go without saying, but some UPS battery layouts are worth
a photo at EVERY step of dis-assembly, for the short&long
jumpers, to NOTE POLARITY. <br>
<br>
Ask for a PB "trade account" and get [even] better pricing, if you
expect to do ongoing (volume of) battery business. <br>
<br>
PB may not always have the APC (or other Mfg's) cross-reference "in
their system" .. but JUST HAUL IN ANY SPECIMEN, and you will be
directed to stock on-the-shelf, for at least one candidate to match.
If you believe your model to be (spillable) lead-acid, CdnTire sells
acid-tolerant trays for not-so-much$, to show PB the model. <br>
<br>
Due to friendly pricing, I've been able to quote 1yr or 2yr
proactive switch-out contracts, at reasonable prices. <br>
Those (not necessarily expired, in this schedule) retired gel-cels,
taken out, may be kept onsite (no acid-gas off the SEALED
gel-types). Lead-acid should be taken off-site immediately, to
appropriate disposal. <br>
<br>
Even though most common (<1500va) UPS replacement batteries are
(non-spill caution) gel-types, surcharges may STILL apply for ANY
shipping, so I would vote you just pick them up from the storefront
on Border. No special tray needed for transporting gels. <br>
<br>
In any case, pack them forward in the trunk, for the inevitable
gotta-brake in traffic. <br>
<br>
