Shopping for the best APC batteries
Shopping for APC batteries is not only about making sure you’re buying the best product, but making sure you’re buying from the best distributor, as well.
What you are looking for in an APC battery seller, a website or a store, is simply a degree of customer courtesy. In short, you are standing by them, so they should stand by you. Below, we’ll provide a short list of what you should expect of any ABC battery distributor you hope to do business with.
What you should look for in an APC Battery Seller.
Safe Disposal of Used APC Batteries
Many states and provinces have laws against simply throwing used APC batteries into the trash. You can dispose of your used batteries yourself if you know where to take them, but ideally, whoever you are buying your APC replacement batteries from should have some sort of service offered for convenient disposal. Usually, you will purchase an inexpensive disposal service wherein they will allow you to send your old batteries back to them in the same box they shipped you your new batteries in, with postage included in the cost of the service.
Variety
While most manufacturers of computer equipment that uses an APC battery will try to use only the most common dimensions, many manufacturers might change the dimensions of APC battery without notice, or use uncommon dimensions. If you enquire about rarer sizes of APC batteries, then of course, you may get offered them, but theoretically, any good APC retailer will supply the more popular batteries.
Warranty
The first reason to only shop with retailers who provide a warranty is that an APC battery can be expected to last for about one year. Replacing the battery at this point, is usually a wise move, as you don’t want to find out the hard way that it’s finally given up. A one year warranty, then, will protect your APC replacement battery throughout its entire recommended life cycle.
Speedy Delivery
Hopefully, an APC battery retailer should offer one day delivery and shipping insurance. If this isn’t the case then some tracking method of shipment should be offered. While perhaps not as much a necessity as the points listed above, this is simply the extra mile gone by any retailer that truly values their customers.
