CyberPower RB1290 - UPS battery - lead acid - 9 Ah

Product was well packaged and arrived promptly. However, there are two major flaws: 1. In this day and age, knowing how harmful these batteries are to our environment when unproperly disposed of, the manufacturer should be obligated or obligate itself to provide a free shipping option to return the used battery for recycling. This is required in the European Union and Japan, not only for batteries but for toner cartridges. 2. No protective plastic shielding on the hot connector of the battery is provided, unlike the original battery that was in the Cyberpower unit. This increases the risk of fire or explosion if mishandled or short-circuited.
