Thanks, but umpteen others told me to try the same specific vendor. They don't include the nice recycling mailer like APC, but hey, if I know exactly what the battery is and APC doesn't want to play nicely, then I'll buy the battery elsewhere.
Like I'd mentioned, I bought a dozen from one vendor, but at least 3/12 turned out to not take a charge when needed.
