APC AV J15 replacement
Hi, I've got an APC AV J15BLK unit, about 11 years old now. It appears to be failing, cutting power to attached devices several times during its daily (?) test cycles. I know it has been discontinued for some time and assume there is no way to repair it (although I'd be happy to be wrong). Can anyone recommend a replacement device or arrangement that would provide both the power conditioning (including line noise cleanup) and battery backup?

If the unit is cutting power during the self test it’s more likely the batteries are expired and need to be replaced.
The service life of the battery cartridge (RBC) is 2-5 years based on usage, temperature, and environmental conditions.
The unit takes four 12 VDC 9 AH cells. If after replacing the battery cartridge doesn’t solve the problem than you can purchase any pure sine wave UPS.
You may consider the following 1-1.5 KVA APC Series UPS: SMT, SMX, SRT
