After researching for RBC5 units and Vision CP 1270, both here and in
the U.S.A., your solution (CAD $45.99 + Ground CAD $12.50, or free
pick-up in North York) appears to be the best for me, Thank you.

For baseline comparison, APC wants 99.99 for replacement battery unit.

At APC's site, for selecting battery, and also for potential trade-up,
one goes to
http://www.apc.com/ca/en/support/index.jsp
BATTERY REPLACEMENT FINDER

"APC Trade-UPS is a 1-phase UPS program that offers new and existing
customers the ability to trade in older battery backup units for the
most up-to-date 1-phase power protection models at discounted prices."

For the APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 700 (BR700G) the Trade-up
discount looks to be about 20%, but that's probably a toy to you.

SU1500RMX155 and SU1500RMXLX157 are discontinued at APC, hmm. Assuming
there's a newer, more-updated model, would there be a reason to upgrade?

That's got to be a rough gig, APC trying to get people to upgrade
their equipment.
