[geeks] Quality of replacement UPS batteries

[Aaron Finley]

I have a Smart UPS 1000 that I'd like to replace the batteries for.

I found this:

http://www.batteryspec.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?action=link&product=175&sub2=1750079

The price seems too low to be true. The genuine part sells for over
$100. Does anyone have experience with non-OEM replacement batteries
specifically for high-power UPS applications? It seems with the size
of these things that if corners were cut during the manufacturing
process that they could pose quite a hazard.
