Hi, folks.
I need some new replacement batteries for rack-mount APC UPSes. My old
vender... well, the salesman I dealt with for several years left about a
year and a half ago, and last year's purchase was a disaster (wrong
batteries, wrong batteries, months to get the shipping to return the wrong
batteries...), so I'm looking for a new, reliable vendor who does US
government contract sales.
Recommendations? Warnings?

We use BatteriesPlus a lot. Prices seem reasonable and our local one will deliver to us.

Warnings?I don't know if they do government sales, but I've done business with Batteries Plus locally and BatterySharks.com via the Internet. Batteries Plus was reliable, but their prices were going up, so I had to look for a less expensive solution. On the first order I placed with Battery Sharks in 2011, they sent me 7Ah batteries instead of 7.5Ah. Not a huge deal, but not what I ordered. After complaining about it, they gave me a $15 account credit (I used the batteries anyway) and I haven't had any problems since. Even with shipping, they are less expensive than Batteries Plus. -- Bowie

Shipping and prices are reasonable. Products were correct.

They're a pretty large distributor, and I'd be surprised if they don't do Gov't. sales. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
