The APC replacement battery cartridge APCRBC123 is an original spare part for UPS systems of the Smart-UPS Line Interactive series. It serves as a direct replacement for worn-out or defective batteries and ensures the restoration of the original performance of the uninterruptible power supply. The battery is designed as a maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA), with the electrolyte suspended, enabling a leak-proof construction. The cartridge is black and has a compact design with dimensions 152 mm (width) × 203 mm (depth) × 76 mm (height). The weight is 5.21 kg.

Applications

The APCRBC123 is specifically designed for use with Smart-UPS Line Interactive models to secure the power supply for IT systems, network devices, and other sensitive equipment even during power outages. The battery is suitable for use in server rooms, office installations, and other critical IT environments where continuous power supply is required. The cartridge is designed for replacement during ongoing operation, avoiding interruption of power supply during the changeover.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The battery is designed using Plombierte Bleisäure (VRLA) technology, enabling maintenance-free operation. The sealed design with suspended electrolyte ensures that no liquids can leak, increasing safety. The cartridge is equipped with all necessary connections to be directly installed into UPS systems. It is delivered fully assembled and ready for use. The battery has a lifespan of three to five years, with the exact duration depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Technology Explained Simply

The VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) is a type of lead-acid battery in which the electrolyte is fixed in a gel or via a special absorption matrix. This prevents leakage and allows safe storage and installation in various orientations. The battery is maintenance-free, meaning no regular maintenance tasks such as topping up electrolyte are required. The leak-proof construction is particularly important in IT environments to avoid damage to equipment and infrastructure.

Compatibility and Accessories

The APCRBC123 is specifically developed for Smart-UPS Line Interactive models. The exact list of compatible UPS models is available on the official APC website in the Support section, where the function Find your replacement battery can be used to identify suitable models. The cartridge is designed as a replacement for the original battery and ensures full functionality of the UPS system.

Installation and Mounting

The battery is designed for replacement during ongoing operation, meaning the power supply is not interrupted during the changeover. Installation is performed by simply inserting the cartridge into the designated position in the UPS. The necessary connections are already integrated, so no additional tools or connections are required. The cartridge is designed for easy handling and can be replaced by qualified personnel without special tools.

Operational Advantages

Using the APCRBC123 ensures uninterrupted power supply during battery replacement, increasing the availability of IT systems. The maintenance-free design reduces maintenance effort and the risk of errors due to incorrect maintenance. The leak-proof construction protects the environment and equipment from damage. The 2-year warranty for repair or replacement provides additional security for the operator. The battery is RoHS-compliant, ensuring environmental compatibility and compliance with the European electrical equipment directive.
