  1. biker boy

    Second replacement battery for my APC. I use the battery backup plugs for the VCR and DVD recorder, the surge protection plugs for the plasma flat screen, amplifier, and Blu Ray player. Worked great so far. I think the battery lasts about 3 years.

  2. Alaska Miner

    aaaaaaaa++++++++++

  3. Don S.

    It’s a replacement battery and it replaces well

  4. John S. Whitney, Jr.

    Easy to install — no issues, quick ship. Glad to have protection again.

  5. Kern

    This is a good replacement battery for my APC unit. The only thing to not is that the tabs for the connectors narrow down at the ends. This makes the connectors from the unit not fit as tightly as the original battery where the tabs are the same width from the battery to the tip. Otherwise, a good replacement for the money.

  6. Gary RV_Wizard

    I bought this to replace the battery in my APC emergency power supply unit. It’s the second time I’ve done that – the batteries seems to lose capacity after about 4 years. The battery is a perfect fit and performs well.

  7. Gene

    This battery fit in the enclosure without issues, was a good price and I hope it will last a few years.

  8. Rafael C

    So far so good

  9. TrinityMan

  14. sba

    Battery was as advertised, was easy to install, and after about one month is working fine.

  15. Richard Comstock

    Got it quickly and installed. Works.

  16. inthe303

    I used this as a replacement in an APC that failed. It has been working great for quite some time.

  17. Chris

    I have an old APC Back-UPS device with a failing battery. The Mighty Max replacement battery was easy to install, fit perfectly and is now helping me keep my gaming computer up & running!

  18. Eligio Betancourt

    This was my third battery which carries a 12month warranty with a life cycle of only 9 months.I failed to keep a copy of the receipt in the past.

  19. lladnar

    Good value, easy to install and fits perfectly.

  20. M.R.McElwain

  23. Jan

    Working well. Can not rate battery life as it has just been installed.

  24. Janine Donovan

    Working well. Can not rate battery life as it has just been installed.

  25. Bethesda Dad

    Right size, fully charged, terminals a bit smaller than previous 3-yr battery, but with a little squeezing it fit just right. Can’t say anything about how long it will last.

  26. Phillip K. Johnson

    Hopefully this lasts half as long as the APC battery that it replaced.It shipped quickly, arrived perfectly packaged and intact, and charged as expected in an APC BackUPS 550 ES.

  27. Gabe

    I’m using this battery in an APC brand battery backup (BE500U) and I had a system failure after 13 months. At first I thought it was the battery but now it seems that it could be the APC unit. Unfortunately, I can’t delete my review and must pick an overall rating.

  28. Michael Mitchell

    Using battery for apc backup with great results no problems and would buy again love it.

  29. golfingMAD

    New battery came very quickly and was a pretty easy swap out in my APC. As others have said, I found the contact blades a little narrower that those on my existing battery. Had to delicately pinch the connecting terminals to grab better or otherwise fit too loosely and could fall off. My APC was back in full swing in minutes and we’ve had a couple power outage that confirmed battery held it’s charge and gave us ample time to do whatever we needed to get done. I’d buy again (now that I have the terminals crimped).

  30. VM

    Battery backup for WiFi router. Very little short battery life

  31. Benny Wechter

    Easy to replace, price is good.

    Better than OEM equipment.

  34. Roslyn Birnbaum

    It’s doing what it’s supposed to do so far. Only got it about a couple of weeks ago. My last battery lasted about 4 years. If this one lasts as long, I’ll buy it again.

  37. Retief

    This arrived safely packaged and quite quickly. Just open up my APC UPS. Slid out the old battery. Disconnected the terminals. Got the new battery. Attached the terminals and slid it back in. Plugged the UPS back in and it was working again. Left it to charge for a couple of days. No complaints from it. Then plugged in some devices and it has been working ever since. Kept powering my NAS when the UPS was unplugged. Good to go for another couple of years (hopefully!) The battery was a perfect fit. Can’t comment on longevity as it is now being put to the test.

  38. Mark H Roberts

    Good replacement in my uverse

  39. Ken D

    After many years, the battery in my ups died. This was a perfect replacement. The specs matched, it fit and so far seems to be working fine. Only had it a few months.

  49. Fred Levitt

    Fast delivery and easy to install. Good instructions with the battery.

  50. Farmanthor

    APC UPS products last for a long time but the batteries fail after normal wear and tear. A replacement battery is less than half the price and very easy to install. I recycle the battery and reuse the same casing. Good for the environment and good for the purse.

  51. jerryez

    wORKS GREAT, SO FAR.

    it is always a struggle for me to get a battery into these backups, new or replacement, but this battery is the right size and works well.

  55. fixitall45

    So far battery works great, holds a charge very well.

  56. Mikey

    I’ve used this brand for many years and to put it simply they always perform flawlessly. Good product at a great price.

  57. David E Mevis

    Using the battery for a portable solar generator to recharge USB devices and amateur handitalkies. Small footprint mounted in the utility box I’m using and allowed a 10A charge controller, a multi-in/out device, AND a 10W 12V solar panel to all be mounted and stowed inside the utility box. The whole package is no bigger than a small 6-pack cooler and all I have to do is remove the solar panel and plug it into the box to begin charging. The multi in/out also has a voltmeter I connected with a momentary on push-button, and twin USB outlets connected to the Load output of the charge controller allowing the USB outlets to be turned off. The battery is perfectly sized for this application!

  62. Robert W. Herman

    Excellent.

  63. Michael Orlando

    So far so good

  64. Justin Naylor

    Working as intended. Good product. Would buy again.

  65. Greg

    All I got to say is it works as intended previous one lasted for three and a half years hope this one lasts for as long but for $17 you can’t go wrong.

  66. Alex Nowicki

    works great

  67. Terry R. Nye

    I purchased this battery to replace a dead one in an APC UPS 500 power supply. The battery arrived very quickly from the seller and was a perfect replacemen. It remains to be seen how long it will last. My last one (a different brand) lasted about 2. Years, so that may be about how this one will hold up. If so, it will be worth it, and the price was very competitive.

  68. Harv V

    Bought and put this in service for my APC ES500 UPS two years ago. It just died. I’ve had about a dozen short power outages during that time. If two years is the expected lifespan, then I guess it deserves 3* or 4*. If a 2-year lifespan is shorter than what it should be, then it deserves a lower rating.

  69. beavis

    This has a great charge out of the box and fixed my UPS on the spot. Thanks!

  70. David H. Parkhill

    Worked!

  71. Abbott Fleur

    This is the 3rd one I purchased (for multiple uses). Delivered quickly and all are working well.

  72. Keith Howard

    I have bought several of these. Never a problem. A lot cheap than buying a new APC.

  73. Tony

    as promised

  74. Terry W. Sanders

    Fit perfectly and provided the power that I needed.

  75. Terry W. Sanders

  76. DjM

    Bought this to replace a dead battery in a harbor frieght jump box. Have had it for about 8 months. Haven’t had occasion to use it to jump a dead battery yet but has been holding a charge well and was a perfect fit. Would rate it 5 stars if I was able to successfully jump a dead battery will update review if that opportunity presents itself.

  77. Phil Blair

    Fits perfectly, and a year in is working well.

  79. Tom F. from Maryland

    So far so good it is only a battery for which time will tell,I can tell you it is sometimes a roll of the dice on how long a battery will last,last one only lasted 3 months NOT from this company.

  81. IainM

    A bit tough to get into the UPS but that might be a flaw of the unit itself, it’s been a while since I had to install a battery.

  82. Condon Jarvis

  92. Rich Whiting

    This was the right choice for replacing the battery in my APC BackUPS Pro 500. Easy to swap in and working perfectly for nearly a month. Great price, too. If anything changes, will update. But at present five stars for sure.

  93. JasonC

    Great replacement battery

  94. Blake I.

    I bought this as a replacement battery for an APC Back-UPS ES 500.The battery is just like the original so replacement was very simple.

  95. Katman01

    This was a direct replacement for the battery in m UPS. Working just fine.

  96. J. Thomas

    Used for replacement of an APC battery in an APC ES500 Battery Backup. It has been installed for a few weeks and it is functioning well as expected. The fit is perfect. I tested it 3 times by unplugging the APC and it kept my water treatment system running. Prior to installing this a power glitch would require resetting some of the water treatment system elements.

  97. Henry M.

    As expected and good price.One more star if it lasts a long time.

  108. KING3344

    I’ve been using Mighty Max batteries as replacements in my 3 computers for years. I have never had a problem. I would estimate that these batteries have lasted at least 3 years. I would say that the AVERAGE life of those I’ve used has been about 3 and a half years. (Of course, battery life will normally depend greatly on the AH (ampere-hours) of the battery you buy. A dependable product.

  109. X-Diplo

    It fits (older ES500), it works, and it was delivered on time. Easy to install the replacement. I can’t comment on capacity because I don’t have the instrumentation, but I have no reason to doubt that it’s up to spec. What more is there to say?
