I have replaced the batteries in my APC Smart UPS 700 without a problem.
Took the batteries I needed to replace to Batteries+ and brought the
replacements back to the office. Installed them and a way I went
without a problem.




Yep.

I suspect the OP had a dead UPS and figured it was just a dead battery

Has anyone noticed the Kodak Rechargeable Digital-Camera. It is AA size,
1.2v., 2100mah. Made in China :-(
These batteries drastically outlast any other AA battery that I have
ever seen. I use them for radios, flashlights and much more.
I haven't seen them for sale for a long time.

There are a couple different formulations of NiMH.

"Low self-discharge cells"

They trade capacity in amp-hours, for storage retention time.
It means they can make a battery with a slightly smaller
capacity, but it stays charged for a whole year.
