Pros: Exact OEM replacement.Cons: None I can conclude.Exact OEM replacement. None I can conclude. APC used to include a pre-paid return shipping label. The last few I ordered don't include this pre-paid label but simply a return address or to properly dispose of the battery at a local recycling facility. However, being a lead-acid battery, it's possible to find a local facility that will pay you to take these off your hands and recycle them.I've replaced several of these for several customers and I've had no issues with any of them since the replacement. The original's lasted 4-5 years before they start indicating they need replaced.

I bought installed a replacement battery for my RS 1500I (RBC33) Powerchute still thought I needed to replace it when doing a Self-Test. On the Self-Test page there is a battery icon, click on it it will prompt you to update your battery s replacement date. Now i m good to go until I upgrade my machine. Currently supports 30 minutes. At that time I ll add the BR24BP RS 1500 addon battery pack. Giving me an 1 1/2 hours current usage (350 watts about 30 minutes at 800 watts.
