Heat Versus Your APC Batteries

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist

Believe it or not, heat is actually one of the biggest and most common reasons rechargeable batteries go bad!

Rechargeable batteries, such as APC replacement batteries, would last indefinitely if the actual plates of the battery remained in perfect shape. What actually happens is that when batteries are being used in any way shape or form, there are constant chemical reactions happening inside the battery that will corrode away the lead. It just so happens that heat will speed up these chemical reactions, which then in turn diminishes the life of your APC replacement battery quicker.

There are a couple of ways to reduce the heat of the unit without actually tampering with the unit's internal cooling fans. The first of which is to make sure that where you setup your APC backups is clean and clear of clutter. The case is designed with groves and small holes specifically to dissipate heat. If these are block out in any way, the unit will retain more heat than normal. I would also make sure that the unit is not placed next to or on-top of any appliance the produces heat when in operation. The extra heat from any appliance near the backups unit could also potentially raise the unit's temperature.

On the more technical side, I would make sure you are using the right APC replacement battery in your unit! If you installed the wrong battery that is not meant to power the unit, it could overheat from the rate of charge. Also, please be aware of buying unknown brands for an APC replacement battery such as Toshiba PA3107U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3383U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3384U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3285U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3191U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3166U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3331U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3098U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3084U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3399U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3250U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3356U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3291U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3591U-1BAS Battery! Many clients have brought in their random no-name batteries into the shop complaining about their own experiences with them (or lack there of). It is always best to buy an established brand when purchasing your APC replacement battery!
