Free UPS Battery

I ordered a replacement battery for my UPS and ended up with the wrong one.  Fortunately (I guess) they don't want it back.  If you happen to have a UPS this fits, it is yours for the cost of shipping.

APCRBC124-UPC

Replacement Battery for: APC SMC1000I-2U, SMC1000-2U, BR1500GI, BR1500G-FR, BR1200GI, BR1200G-FR, BR1300G, BX1500G, BR1500G, SMC1000-2UC

I have an APC at the theater that I use as a mini inverter to run lights on moving stage pieces.  I'll check the model, but those look very familiar.  I might just snag them from you.

Even if they don't fit (and no one else speaks up) I might take them simply because battery + theater things = makes a tech director's life easier.

As it happens, I do have an APC UPS this fits and the battery's due for replacement (UPS has been beeping the "battery bad" code for a few weeks now).  I'll see if I can figure out how PMs work and take the conversation there.

Thank you!

Couldn't find a PM option, I probably don't have enough posts, if there's a minimum post requirement.  I sent email through the forum, but it was bounced.  Apparently the forum email server is on someone's naughty list.  However, the bounce did list CJ's address.  If Curtis passes on the batteries, I should be able to contact CJ directly.

Well Curtis, you're up.  PM me an address in Harrisburg and I'll check around for shipping costs.

Have a good Christmas

I will Defer to Procyon and toss it back that way.  He actually needs them.  My UPS is working fine, so these would just be collecting dust until I use them.  Nothing more frustrating than a busted UPS.  Also, assuming Procyon is a dude... apologies if not. 

If I took them it would be like accepting free panasports to use as lawn ornaments when someone else actually has a car that would benefit from them.

In reply to Procyon :

Hi Proctor, your turn.  Shoot me an email and we'll figure it out.

Thanks, Curtis.  Yes, I'm a guy.  :)

CJ, just sent an email to the "mat..." email address I got from the bounce notice last night.

If that comes through OK, let me know what shipping will run, and I'll get that out to you.  Working hypothesis is PayPal, but if you'd like a different form, let me know.

Thank you again.

FWIW. these are excellent in PowerWheels

Indeed... hence why I didn't take the batteries :)  Watch for my thread later,  "WTB: free panasports for a lawn project."
