    It’s working good after just a few weeks. It replaced another Mighty Max battery that was almost 5 years old. That’s great reliability and I hope this one lasts that long too!

    Replaced the nine-year-old battery for the UPS used for my computer. The new battery terminals are slightly smaller than the OEM battery terminal, but the connectors engaged completely and remained firmly connected. The new battery showed initially 23% charged on the Linux power manager, then began increasing, confirming it was charging. Simple replacement: 1. Press the UPS power button, and allow it to completely shutdown (lights out). 2. Unplug all connected devices (remember which plugs were in the battery-backed side vs the surge-only side). Also unplug the USB cable, if used. 3. Turn the UPS upside down and slide away the battery cover. 4. Slide the old battery outward and (firmly) pull off the battery terminal spade connectors. 5. Remove the new battery terminal protectors. 6. Push on the battery terminal spade connectors (red to red, positive; black to black negative) to the new battery terminals. The new battery terminals are slightly smaller, but confirm that they are fully engaged and do not pull away easily. 6. Slide the new battery back into the UPS. Should fit perfectly! 7. Slide on the UPS battery cover. 8. Plug-in all connected devices and the USB cable, if used. 9. Press the UPS power button, and allow it to start-up (flashing light goes steady-on when ready).

    So far so good. The customer service is top of the line. That is a big. I’ve had this new battery only for a short while so I cannot rate its longevity yet. It works. It fits. Let the seller know if your existing battery has the F1 or the F2 size connectors, as some of the APC Back-UPS 550 BE550G models have one or the other size! The sellers will accommodate you. Highly recommended based especially on the great customer service.

    This battery works in the BackUPS 550 BE550G that I installed it in, and the cost was less than replacement of the entire UPS, so I would highly recommend this battery. I cannot speak for the longevity – time will tell, but as replacement batteries go, I have replaced many over the years and have had good results and long life in most cases.

    If purchasing this for the APC UPS550G, contact Mighty Max for the F1/F2 terminal adapters–no sweat. This is my second purchase of replacement batteries from Mighty Max. I was very pleased with the performance of my prior purchase that I had slim to nil hesitation in using a battery that wasn’t tested by APC in their UPS unit. I’m glad I thought through APCs marketing fear strategy their batteries are somehow better. Well, seriously, even though the battery is drawn upon to provide an even power supply to our beloved electronics, it’s the UPS unit itself that manages that. The battery is a source of power. The question is how long does it maintain a full (or sufficient) charge over the course of years of use. I don’t have longterm experience to say, but for less than half the cost and with my own satisfaction of the power provided by from my previous purchase, I was happy to make the switch from APC battery to Mighty Max.Definitely contact the seller (Mighty Max) if you’ll need the F1/F2 adapters. Compare the terminal measurements with the spec sheet provided on the product page. The adapters are just a couple of pieces of metal that slide onto the terminal, but they’re the RIGHT kind of metal. See photo.

    Got the new battery. Installed it. Waited a few days for the big test. So, pulled the 120 volt plug out of the receptacle. The battery and UPS work very well. This UPS also offers surge protection on several of the outlets.All in all, an inexpensive way to have my UPS back in service. I’m very glad I ordered and installed this battery.

    Kind of a mystery why they don’t use same sized terminals for this battery or at least include terminal adapters in the box. It worked anyway for me so I gave them four stars, not five. Must remove plastic protectors before installation.

    I was a little concerned when I read reviews that needed adapters. I am not sure if the battery has been updated, but it was a perfect install. Total time was about 2 minutes to install. It is slightly larger than the battery that was in my APC 550. The original battery had a sticker on it that this was a mfg alternate battery. Interesting.I can not comment on how long it will last, but for now – PERFECT

    This is an excellent battery and should serve me well. The only problem is the terminal size is a mismatch and it should always ship with terminal adapters for F1 or F2 since there is a significant disparity. It took a bit of work to adapt them myself.

    Works pretty well, however after I installed it I kept getting a flashing red light which indicates a problem with the battery. The issue was that the power crimp wasn’t very tight. I just applies a little pressure to it with a needle nose pliers and it stuck on well then. Hoping to get a couple years out of it 🙂

    I bought two of these batteries for my APC BE550G UPS units. As others also discovered, the terminals on the batteries are the type F1 size but the connectors on the APC UPS Units are designed to connect to terminals of the F2 size. The difference is that the type F1 terminals are not as wide as the F2 type. While you might be able to get them connected, the connection wouldn’t be as solid as it should be and could easily become disconnected.I read in other reviews of this product that people had contacted MightyMax batteries regarding this issue and that MightyMax batteries had provided adapters that would convert the terminals on the battery to the F2 type at no charge. I contacted MightyMax batteries myself via Email and I am pleased to say that they shipped me two free adapter sets as well. With these adapters, which are easy to install, I have a solid connection between the battery and my UPS unit and both are working well.

    All I wanted was a battery to fill a UPS that I acquired for not much money. In this particular backup I think I have a Xbox One, secondary PC and TV hooked to it. Ironically just before writing this review our power went off and back on last night. Battery/backup worked perfectly. Everything stayed on until the power came back on.So battery works just fine and does just what I wanted it for.

    The product works as advertised. It fit perfectly in the designed space and has held its charge in the weeks we?ve had it. An excellent lower cost option to replacing the whole surge protector.The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars were the terminals. The ones on the battery were more narrow than the cables in the protector. I contacted Mighty Max about this, they responded quickly and sent me adapters that worked great free of charge. If they would have included them in the original box, so I wouldn?t have had to contact them about the issue, I?d have given them 5 stars.

    EDIT 12/6/2017After leaving my initial review, I was contacted by the seller who provided me with a set of terminal adapters free of charge. I just installed the battery with the adapters and my backup battery is working great! Thanks to the seller for their excellent responsiveness, followup, and service!_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________This battery may be the right dimensions, amperage, etc., for the APC ES550 but the terminals on this battery are most definitely NOT.First off, they are too small. The UPS terminals simply slip right off. So I spent the first 15 minutes trying to crimp them down to a narrow enough slit to remain attached to the battery. The positive cable was pain enough but I finally got it crimped down enough to maintain the connection, or so I thought. Then came the negative cable terminal.It comes from the factory with a plastic casing to avoid shorts should the cable come loose. That makes accessing the actual terminal difficult. Fortunately, I work with small electronics fairly frequently so I had a pair of needle-nosed pliers to crimp those terminals down. Time to insert the battery.I *carefully* set the battery into the compartment, paying special attention to the cables and terminals as much as possible. Everything looked good so I plugged in the UPS and powered it on. I immediately received the screech that means replace the battery. So back to square one.This time, though, I left the unit plugged in and powered on. Again, I re-crimped both + & – terminals.50% tighter than I already had done. I plugged the two cables to the battery. This time they felt more solid but as soon as I inserted the battery, screech! So I resorted to the solution 10,000,000 rednecks the world over swear by.I removed the battery, reattached the cables and made sure they were tight. Then I grabbed my trusty roll of duct tape and made damn sure the cables did not come off.Maybe many of you had better luck with this product, although if the terminal size on this unit is common, I don’t see how you could have without at least some modification. I didn’t want to solder the connections for obvious reasons. And I came within a thread of replacing the terminals on the cables but again, obviously, that would not have been a wise decision.I’ll give this battery 2 stars, begrudgingly. It really deserves only 1 because what should have been a 2 minute job turned into a 40 minute one because of incompatible design on the battery terminals.Next time, I’ll spend the extra $25 and just buy the one directly from APC.
