My office has an APC UPS model BackUps 400 that has a bad battery. They bought a new UPS and the old was going to be trashed until i asked for it. I dont have a UPS and thought i could buy a battery cheaper than a new unit. The battery inside has model# ps-1265 on it and I found a site that lists ps-1270 as compatible. I have also looked on ebay and found many other power rated batteries that were the same physical size. My question is, what would happen if i put a battery in it that was rated higher than the original. Also, does anyone have any idea how long the orinial size battery is supposed to power a computer?
