Canadian Tire Watch Batteries

I was very pleasantly surprised that my replacement battery was delivered to my door by courrier within 48 hr of my on-line order, which was placed on a weekend. This was the first time that I had ever tried replacing a battery instead to just buying a new UPS unit. None of the retailers selling APC products carry replacement batteries, and since I live in Canada, I expected that the cost of bringing in a replacement battery would exceed the cost of a new unit.. and be bogged down with customs duties.. etc. Battery was actually shipped from a nearby Canadian distributor. It is certainly more environmentally-friendly to replace a battery rather that throwing out a perfectly good UPS system. APC should do more to inform Canadian customers how easy it is (& cost -effective) to replace batteries. Perhaps include battery replacement information in packaging for new units.

It costs 5 times more if I buy from Canadian store. It is exactly what I looking for as a hobbyist.

I'd rather have a spare body cap than not have one. And I wouldn't want to drive a car without a spare tire.

I enjoyed the shape, color, tire smooth spins, inside and function.

Very good product and price; even though I paid in Canadian dollars...

Best price, at least compared to canadian retailers. I wish shipping to canada would be free...

I have the extra camera battery for the camera and have never used the second one to this date (after 2 years using the system). The reason for both is that you just never know when the 'tire will go flat'.

Use these to secure beach stuff to a ballon tire beach cart ... holds everything firmly in place. Also use it to secure expensive camera gear for location shoots. 3 straps are long and one shorter.

I had to watch a few Youtube clips to figure out the remote and technique and workflow for good time lapses. Overall its a simple easy to use set up well made rail and I am happy with it. My only annoyance is some of the settings have to be redone if you power off . Example if you forget to reset the start stop positions and don't watch it complete the sequence you find it tying to drive though the end stop with the belt slipping and if its not switched of damage to the pulley and belt. It really should loose 1 star for that. They do have a spare belt included. A pleasant surprise is the battery life is great and the batteries a common fitting so I can use Sony style batteries from my LED light.
