I have an APC BE550G UPS with a battery which is 4 years old (the model is RBC110) and I would like to replace it. I believe the current battery capacity is 7AH, and I was thinking of replacing it with a 10AH aftermarket version. Is this ok or is it better to use a 7AH version like the one that came with it? I have been reading that with higher capacities the UPS can overheat since it does not have a fan to cool it. I also have never tried using non-OEM batteries before so I am not sure if that would be a good idea or not.

I have a very similar APC unit here for my home office. I have replaced the battery set once. I suggest you use the correct replacement part to avoid possible issues. The larger capacity may take more charging current than the unit is capable of delivering
