APC Back-UPS 1600VA BX1600MI-GR battery replacement

Описание: APC Back-UPS 1600VA BX1600MI-GR battery replacement

Update:
See the pinned comment, TL/DR:
1) Use some double sided tape to glue the new batteries together before installing them (reduces rattle and makes the next disassembly easier).
2) Use the opportunity to closely inspect cables and connectors to see if anything is loose or burnt.
