APC UPS pricing and lead prices?

[Anonymous user]

Checked the pricing on batteries from my usual supplier. It went up A LOT, 65% price increase since July.
I checked the metal pricing. Lead prices quadrupled in a little over two years.

Can we anticipate APC UPS prices to go up in response?

UPS pricing will follow similar trends to the pricing of lead in the market as productions costs increase.
