Exactly the Right Battery, Hot-Swappable -- Simple Fix

Hadn't had trouble with this UPS, but have learned to swap the battery on any UPS when the warning pops open. This case was particularly easy. The hardest part was identifying the exact UPS model and then the correct battery. Ours is the SmartUPS SMC1000C. The rest was easy: Didn't have to power down or unplug anything, just slide out the old battery, unplug, and then plug in and slide in the new.

Better than the cheap knockoffs. I would recommend APC.
