Who Are The Top APC Battery Brands?

Posted by tomgreen on October 16, 2009

There are a number of APC battery manufacturers out there, some good, some bad. Areas such as which brands have risen to the top of the industry, buyers expectations, along with what defines a strong APC battery is all discussed within this article. In essence, it simply comes down to a certain degree of professional ethics.

With regards to APC batteries, there are really only a few manufacturers that most retailers are willing to bother with. A ‘niche’ market is owned by APC batteries so it’s not really difficult to identify the top brands. For those of you who have been buying APC battereis for years, then you will know exactly who to purchase from, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a competitive market, because it is.

You should consider, in the first instance, purchasing your APC battery from the main manufacturers which are really CSB and Yuasa. Simply put, these two companies, above any others, have a stellar reputation for delivering quality APC batteries in a full range of shapes and sizes. The vast majority of APC suppliers tend to stick to these two brands, because of this reason, so it doesn’t really matter what retailer you are looking at. As CSB and Yuasa consistently deal in realiiable, well made equipment, it’s simply good business. It’s a good idea as well if you are a buyer to stick to APC batteries from CSB and Yuasa.

There are other companies out there that sell APC batteries but with CSB and Yuasa, you know you are getting top quality and reliability. Other companies do deliver quality products, but CSB and Yuasa are considered to be the most consistent in this regard and are, across the board, considered to be amongst the best in the industry.

In any event, you shouldn’t buy from any company, including the two referenced here, without doing some research. Workstations, networks and home computers need a full year of reliability, so APC batteries are slightly more important than just double A’s. Message boards, recommendations, reviews and opinions are all ways you can find out information on APC batteries you require before commiting yourself to buying.

Changing specifications without notice, it should be noted, is a tendancy of stockists of APC batteries. Therefore, before placing any order, you should always remove your current APC battery, check its specifications, and make sure that you are ordering the correct size and shape for your APC replacement battery. APC battery retailers, state that the most common complaint is the fact that their battery doesn’t fit the hardware when it arrives. This is despite having ordered the correct one. When this occurs, and the wrong size is incorrectly ordered, it is the responsibility of the buyer to send the battery back; meaning extra costs.
