PU220 Powerline UPS Battery Pack

We have purchased batteries from Tayna in the past and would give them all 5* for price and performance with no issues. We purcahsed these to replace 11 year old batteries in an APC UPS and the price is amazing. They were installed, tested, and have been working perfectly. 2 days after installation the power in our office was tripped due to building work going on and the batteries held up fine for the short timeit was off. I have knocked off 1* because I ffound these slightly larger than the originals which had a thin foam sheet between the two batteries. I initially tried fitting a similar sheet between the two Powerline batteries but the batteries got stuck trying to insert them and I had to disassemble the whol eunit to get them back out. I then removed the foam sheet and managed to install them but they were still a little tight, however all is now well. Just be aware this may be a problem depending upon the unit you are installing them into.

Very easy to swap into APC UPS (SMT1500i), only time will tell on their longevity.

Bought to replaced batteries in an old APC UPS that took RBC7 battery packs. Have replaced the batteries many times before with Yuasa NP18-12B's that have lasted around 6 years on average. While replacing I immediately noticed the Powerline batteries seemed lighter - checked and each single Yuasa battery was 5.9kg - and the Powerline replacement only 4.6kg. To be fair the Yuasa were rated 18Ah and Powerline just 17Ah but would have expected weight of say 5.5kg if it was in proportion to that. I'll wait and see how much this affect the lifespan and backup power time of the UPS. Also the batter tabs were significantly further back on the batteries - probably about 4mm - so I had to adjust the extension bit I have for the fuse to reach them - so more faff than I expected for what I expected to be a straight swap. All said though the Powerline ones are half the price of Yuasa ... only time will tell if this is a false economy or not. Service and speed of delivery from Tanya was great. I have knocked off a star for low eight and one for the tabs distance difference - so 3 stars from me. Would I buy again? Now I have some adjusted connectors for the fuse already maybe I would - depends on how well they last really.

Excellent value; no problem strapping the batteries together for use in my UPS. I've bought from Tayna before, and will do so again.
