I purchased the APC BR1500G BACK-UPS Pro with the APC BR24BPG Back-UPS Pro External Battery . Is it possible to hook up another External Battery ?

I believe so but you should call Schneider electronic and there reps can confirm
1031857
No. There is only one input and that is on the 1500G. Short of disassembly and "custom" wiring you cannot daisy-chain the current 24BPG units. Sorry.
1031858
No, it is designed to do just one. You should be able to do that with the APC Symmetra series. Through some hacks you may be able to manually wire a second BR24BPG, basically just putting more batteries in the chain. This site explains how to open one up : http://www.yourwarrantyisvoid.com/2009/10/27/breaking-into-apcs-br24bp-battery-pack/ you can see it is just 4 batteries connected in a loop, no real reason someone couldn't make a 12 battery loop instead. This has been on my project to do list for a few years now.

The BR24BPG does not have an input plug to allow a second unit to be daisy-chained to it like the previous generation; I don't believe you can use more than one external battery on this generation.

No, You can not add another charge controller to the load side of the Prostar. You need to connect directly to the battery.

Yes, you can have a ups to plug your psu into. I would looking at the AFC BE750G Power Saving Battery Back-UPS it will last for about 30 minutes after the power goes out.

The answer should come from the battery supplier or a user with your particular model UPS. Mine is a XS1300VA and requires 2 of these and they work. A search of Amazon shows 12v 7000 mAh UPS Battery for APC Back-UP BX1000 - 2 Pack by Max Life Battery http://www.amazon.com/12v-7000-Battery-Back-UPS-BX1000/dp/B00DIGN0L4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404296444&sr=8-2&keywords=bx1000+battery - according to the data it says yours are 7 amps and this is a 9 amp battery. I would not use this battery for your UPS, check with the supplier for proper sizing.

You could use the 7002 to charge either one, but not both at the same time, especially is the backup batteries are wired in series. You may want to contact Ctek directly as they make a lot of different models, and may have one that can handle everything for you.

both batteries were included for the price and I needed both of them for my apc backup

No, you need the BR1500G to use this. Their other Pro models do not support this secondary battery pack.

Can't be any more specific than shown in the review, but I've replaced batteries on 2 APCG units and both are still doing ok. The second one I ordered in Dec. 2012. They aren't as well packaged as the official batteries from APC, but they are a lot cheaper from Amazon's Battery Supersite. Your dimensions and specs seem to match. I don't recall there being a product number though the company may use one.

The battery is a backup in case of power interruption. From a practical viewpoint you need a low voltage power supply.

Yes it works great. I would recommend this product. I use this as a back up with second battery.

Yes. The only downside is purchase directly from APC used to include a return mailing label to recycle the battery. That is not included from this supplier, which makes the over all purchase inconvenient. However, APC does not offer this replacement battery anymore. So, what are you to do?

The one I purchased from Amazon.com itself was a real APC-branded battery. I suspect other sellers may substitute cheaper batteries and sell them at full price.

Amazon has a replacement. APC BE325 12V 3.2Ah UPS Battery - This is an AJC Brand&#174; Replacement

When you installed the battery did you allow it to charge for 24 hours before using the APC? (The APC switched off; no load on it.) Go to your instructions for the APC and check for the recommended charge time.

I am not a representative of APC, not anything close to an expert on this subject. However, I found a BE750G on the APC site and it does use the RBC17. Additionally, I have the BE725BB and the RBC17 has been working fine. They Only list a BE725G now, so it may be a newer version? It's been a little while since I replaced the battery cell, so I forget exactly how I figured out the model needed.

Actually you can, Battery Plus sells the battery, take your time with the install

Sorry, I don't know. Our backup is an APC UPS ES 350, and it works great for us...
