Where would I get a replacement battery for my Belkin 850va UPS? Ive had it for about 2 years now, and the sucker will just DROP to its knees and die when I go to test it or the power goes out.

INfact, we had a storm roll through around 5:30am this morning (which woke me up) and power went out for a few seconds and the computer restarted!

Any help is appreciated :)
 
Have you tried charging tha battery without anything plugged into the battery? Some won't charge with electronics plugged in.
 
Well the program shows its 100% charged. It worked before, just fine, now when you test it just DROPS to 10% and fastly dwindles from there.

My system below is what is run by it, and I have a 17" LCD, and my cable modem/router on it also.

Should I just junk this or try a new battery? If a battery is 70$, might as well get a new UPS.
 
Pull the batteries out of your UPS. I've seen them with either 1 (1X12vdc=12vdc) 2 (2X6vdc=12vdc) or 3 (3X6vdc=18vdc). All I have seen are Sealed Lead Acid Batteries.

Google a bit for your particular needs.
 
A lot of times the batteries will be fairly standard size and capacity, and most often sealed-lead acid. Just pull the batteries out and measure them and find a suitable replacement. I was able to get a couple 12V 7AH(they actually sent me 8AH batteries, though) for my UPS on ebay for about $7-8 each or something. You could also try calling around to security companies(that install and maintain security systems) since those systems typically use batteries similar to those used in UPSes.
 
I believe Batteries Plus has replacements for most UPS's.
