Ups New Batteries In Thailand

[chantsurfer]

Can you easily get new batteries for 750Va UPS that were made in Thailand.

If so, where? I have 4 to replace, I am hoping I can get them for 500b each somewhere

Giving your location will help members know where to point you.

In Chanthaburi, but I may head up to Bangsan Beach Area or maybe even Bangkok over the New Year.

At this stage I am trying to find out if they are commonly available? If so I will rip the batteries out and bring an example of each case (and bat) I wish to replace. That Link was a great start.

Yes, UPS batteries are commonly available in Thailand. Our facility has 60 or 70 of them so obviously need battery replacement occasionally. Amorn, mentioned above, is where we get ours in Chiang Mai.

Yup ^^^.

If Amorn don't have them 'coz they're an odd size the NPE in Zeer Rangsit will almost certainly have something suitable.

[chantsurfer]

Thanks Crossy, is Zeer Rangsit that big computer center out in the northern suburbs towards DMK ?

If not, where is it please ?

[Crossy]

A bit past DMK on the right heading north 13.960265,100.621385 look for the Asia Airport Hotel (it's pink).

Yes always buy from 'Amorn' they have a branch a few Villages away from me............ cost around 300 baht, take your old battery and they will sort out one the same size... somehow do not last as long as the 1st battery that came with the UPS.. have 2x 900, 1x 800 and 1x 750 so size and price a a bit different

Most of the replacements I have seen and used are fairly standard sealed 12V motorcycle batteries. When comparing several of the correct size check the Amp rating, the higher one is usually the better. Our group has about 40 units USPs out in service, all APC make, found that the batteries are good for 2-3 years, cost about 450 baht at Amorn.

homepro also sells "ups" batteries.

+1 to Amorn group. I have always bought my replacement batteries from them.

Just got new battery for my UPS at Amorn Rama 4 yesterday. 480 baht for the one that fit my unit. Very easy to replace. Sure beat buying a new UpS for three to four times the cost of the new battery.

Needing a replacement battery myself, so all this info is great right now.

Just unfortunate that Amorn doesn't seem to respond to emails.

Tried twice to the closest store in Rayong, and to both the sales and contact emails for the Bangkok quarters. No response at all.

I just through the gell cell out and replaced it with an external 12 volt car battery wired with 6mm sqr cable. Been 3 years now and still performs much better than the original.
