1. What is the APC Battery Cost Calculator?

This calculator helps determine the cost of APC UPS batteries in the Philippines based on the battery's amp-hour (Ah) rating and the current market price per amp-hour.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Battery\ Ah \) — The amp-hour rating of the APC battery
• \( PHP/Ah \) — Current price in Philippine pesos per amp-hour

Explanation: The total cost is calculated by multiplying the battery's capacity (in Ah) by the price per amp-hour in PHP.

3. Importance of Battery Cost Calculation
