Sell without batteries

We get many requests to sell a unit WITHOUT batteries.   In general, we dont mind, but always warn our customers about an issue, especially if you plan to use old batteries from another unit.

  • This happens often, when you want to upgrade the unit to a larger size and use your existing battery system.
  • Each UPS has a charging rate based on the age of the batteries.  As the batteries age, the UPS charges them more.  Therefore our fresh unit we sell you will have its charger calibrated to charge the batteries as if they were new. Since yours wont be, this charging imbalance will shorten the life of your used batteries. 
  • Unfortunately, we cant calibrate the charger unit to half-aged, or 1 year old.
If you want to buy a unit without batteries, just email us and we'll give you a quick quote.
