Just be aware that unless you have a UPS with only one battery "cell", you'll have to transplant the intra-battery-pack connectors yourself. It's not a difficult procedure.<br>
<br>
I don't even know if CyberPower sells replacement packs or if they just assume you're capable of replacing generic 12V cells yourself.<br>
<br>
Certainty no-one that I'm aware of sells *cheap* battery packs... those are the blades, not the razor!<br>
