I have APC1100va UPS which I had from 2021 which is OOW now I presume, suddenly powers off with Solid red light beeping. I use it for my TV and PS5 mostly. I don’t want to get it to customer care because I heard they will just ask to replace batteries that too infact 2 of them as per policy and the visiting charges will be 400 to 800 +18% GST for part replacement it will be additional charges and will cost almost same as new one. One of my other friend said that we can replace 1 lithium ion battery ourselves, just need to know the same config. Is this possible doing ourselves with no experience before ?
Red light usually points towards a dead or a dying battery. If you dont wanna ring apc you can get 7.2-7.4mah batteries at a nearby car/bike battery shop.
But if its powering down even when connected to main then there’s something wrong with the circuit.

How comfortable it is to replace a battery with little to no experience?
I was checking with the community forum and it says something related to Overload temperature problem
Also here check what apc ups beep light mean
I own 2 Numeric 600VA UPS, if the lead-acid battery goes kaput way below the nominal voltage, then there’s no other way than to replace the batteries. Usually, the old batteries will be taken for a price, get some new ones from a reputed brand!

I’m disappointed that its not even 3.5 years that I had to deal with UPS that too from renowned brand like APC. Its not doing the shutting down from past 2 days. So ill wait and see if something replicates the problem or not and decide what should be done next
Battery change is a must.As you are saying it’s 3.5 years old then it’s the time to change them.you can do it yourself.just open the screws and the battery holders then unplug the wires attached to the batteries and replace them with the new ones.just make sure to record the whole process or take images of the connections and the insides before doing anything.You may also see the videos of how to replace batteries of your model on youtube for better assistance.

If you don’t wanna go through the hassle of replacing it yourself, take it to the battery replacement shop. They will do it for free. Also if you are doubtful about pcb fault, they will try with their own battery first. If everything seems fine, they will put new batteries.
