Review title: One year lifetime
Product review: I bought this APC RBC17 replacement through Amazon and it stopped working after 12 months plus a few days of use. The original APC battery lasted 4 years. I've had better experience with non-OEM UPS batteries, with lifetimes varying from two to five years. Given the higher cost of the OEM battery, I expected the battery to last at least as long as APC says at the low end ("Expected Battery Life (years) 3 - 5"). It did work during the warranted one year period, (powering my computers during a few small power outages and one longer than an hour) which is why I'm not rating this it only one star.
