Ik heb een Engelstalige guide gemaakt over hoe je een (oudere) APC Smart-UPS 1500 (SUA1500i) kan upgraden naar LiFePO4 accu's. Ik maak hierbij gebruik van PowerBrick+ accu's van de Europese fabrikant PowerTech systems. In principe zijn UPS systemen met lood-zuur accu's niet geschikt om met LiFePO4 accu's te gebruiken, maar de geavanceerde BMS (Battery management system) van de PowerBrick+ accu's zorgen voor de compatibiliteit.
Ik heb de upgrade uitgevoerd met mijn APC SUA1500i, maar dezelfde procedure zou moeten werken met elke APC UPS die de RBC7 accu heeft:

*Guide* on how to upgrade the APC Smart-UPS 1500 SUA1500i from SLA (Lead-acid) batteries to LFP (LiFePO4) lithium batteries.
You will need:
● 2x PowerTech PowerBrick+ 20Ah or 30Ah LiFePO4 batteries
● A Smart-UPS 1500 SUA1500i
● The cables, terminal covers and fuse from your old battery pack
● A bit of double-sided tape
● Optional: A 12V battery charger
● Optional: APC-Fix software
*PowerTech PowerBrick+ 12V 20Ah*

*PowerTech PowerBrick+ 12V 30Ah*

These batteries are rated at 3000 cycles at 100% DoD or 4500 cycles at 80% DoD which means that these batteries last much longer than traditional SLA/AGM batteries which have to be replaced every 3 to 5 years. However, these LiFePo4 batteries are much more expensive.

You will need an old PC with a serial port and the original APC serial cable that came with your Smart-UPS. You cannot use a standard serial cable, APC uses a custom crossover.
*Expected problem*
Battery meter will be off. The new batteries have a much higher capacity than the old SLA batteries and the UPS will not understand this. The UPS will think that it is low while the battery still has more than 50% capacity left. The UPS will stay on and deliver power but if you use an automated shut-down at less than 10% power then your devices will be shut down long before the new battery is drained.
