What AH are those? They put a sticker on it. The genuine battery is all imported from Vietnam. My ups had same Kung Long and it was 9AH.This is what I got as a replacement from APC back in 2015. The battery was over a year old so once it discharges its life is much shorter
Does not say Exide
There's two batteries in your pic, so 9AHx2?
Yes, image is of Genuine APC Battery.This is what I got as a replacement from APC back in 2015. The battery was over a year old so once it discharges its life is much shorter

NEW APC UPS have short life (IIRC 2-3 yrs), was in warranty so got APC battery replacement (FREE) under warranty in 2017 and that same battery last till 15 July 2023. Quite Long life for replacement battery, but than NEW UPC APC working for 2-3 yrs only.
APC didn't mentioned any power/wattage etc. on battery sticker, but if you select your UPS type in there website than they will suggest you battery and that page have details of power/wattage etc.
I called them on the Customer Care number I got from their official website:
APC Customer Care Contact Number - Number is provided under 'Prefer to Call' section. I called on the Tech Support number : 1 8 0 0 1 0 3 0 0 1 1
As I have mentioned before, speaking on the above number they gave me a local APC guy's contact number in Kolkata who I then called and got the relevant information from.
I could not find that info anywhere for some odd reason. My guess is 7AH. And it's a two-pack to go with the BR1500
Didn't last as long as the original as i suspect the battery had discharged a while back. I think it was two years old when I got it.
Moglix so called customer care remind me that they are may be related to & living with Mogly of The Jungle Book, the so called Customer Care don't know what is the meaning of Manufacturing Date Printed on Battery and want me to explain the query in detail and again.

They were probably expecting you would get fed up and leave by behaving like that. This is one of the tactics some companies do with customer care.
yes you are right, they also called me and talk very very rudely and while talking keep shouting... if such behaviors they show just for Enquiry, can't imagine what they will do if any issue happens like payment deduct but failed, or payment done but no delivery, bad product received or product not working under warranty... they also told me that they are just a B2B seller and forward order directly to seller and seller ship from sellers place so they don't know anything about product other than what displayed on their website.
While I got call from Okaya battery about my requirements, when she found that I'm looking for single unit, she politely replied that will forward my query to another person and he will take care of my query.. though I didn't received any call in 24 hrs. but at least she spoke politely ...
The product page does mention to not use this for a computer UPS. Did you go through that ?
it wont work. lithium ion batteries are 14v. even i saw these on amazon and people who got it for ups said it did not work.
Edit: Lithium ion battery needs bms pcb to work and get charged properly. See this.
UPS Conversion to Li-Ion
UPS Conversion to Li-Ion: I have a 15 year old UPS that quit working about a decade ago and since then I have been using it as a power strip of sorts. I started reading up on battery packs on instructables.com and I thought about creating a Li-Ion battery pack. Now, most of…
