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?
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.
