Just open the case, remove the battery and copy the specs off the side
and measure the dimensions. Then purchase one of the same specs and
dimensions from an online vendor. Not a problem, easy to do and cheap.
Many of these batteries are the same that are mass produced in huge
numbers for emergency exit lighting units so are available very
inexpensively. The UPS companies will gladly take your money if you
want to pay them their outrageous markup, but there is no real reason
for doing so. I have paid $14 for RPL batts for Belkin UPS units.
Some of the Battery sites have UPS battery lookup interfaces. I looked
yours up and it looks like you have a more powerful model of UPS that
has larger more expensive batteries than the models I am familiar with.
Here's a couple of such sites:

Hey All,
I have two APC Smart UPS 1400 units. They take an RBC7 12V combo (two batteries together) On one, both the batteries are dead. On the other,
one battery is dead, the other lights up and will power either of the housing units.
Any recommendation on where to purchase a replacement? From the manufacturer
the part runs $180.00 In doing research for a replacement, I see prices from
$50.00 to $180-$200.00

I'm just wondering if there are any 'gotchas' i need to be wary about, or if
there
are any other concerns about manufacturing that need to be addressed.
Does anyone have recommended vendors or did anyone find it easier to replace
with a new unit?
Thanks,
Rocky
