UPS giving trouble

Can be
But most PCs do restart during fluctuations, so an UPS is always recommended.

There's no point in spebding 1.3k for ur UPS. Get a new APC for ~2k.

If you have good enough PSU then it can't handle minor surges but a UPS is recommended. Anyway, don't spend 1300 on battery. Just get a new UPS, you get battery+new UPS+Warranty. Its a win win situation.

Even I was thinking about the same. But would my UPS solve the problem of fluctuation in voltage?

One of my friends said that the battery would cost around Rs 700. Should I have this replaced myself?

Guys can someone please help me need to get this fixed ASAP.
Is it ok to have the Battery replaced which would cost Rs 700.

Guys please advice whether it's a good idea to have the UPS battery replaced with one that costs Rs 700.

how old is your ups? you wont get the same battery back up with that rs 700 battery that you got earlier.

check the ampere rating before buying. probably it will be 12v 7mah

I bought it in Jan 2009. As mentioned the APC Service Center guy is asking for Rs 1300 whereas my friend said will get one for Rs 700 as well.

Still thinking is it a better idea to go for newer one since I'm tight with budget.

since it is been for more than 4 years, the wear and tear of internal components will be higher. a new apc ups is what my suggestion.
