APC RBC17 UPS, replacement battery for BK650EI, content_copy

The APC replacement battery RBC17 is an original replacement battery for UPS systems of the brand APC, specifically developed for use with Back-UPS models. As a sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA), it offers a maintenance-free operation and is designed for use in internal UPS systems. The battery has a capacity of 108 VAh and is housed in a compact, black-painted housing that fits into the standard battery compartment construction of compatible UPS models. The service life is at least 5 years under normal operating conditions, with the actual usage duration depending on the operating environment and charge cycles.

Applications
The RBC17 is intended for use in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) used in office environments, server rooms, or IT infrastructures. It serves as a replacement battery to restore the performance of the UPS after the original battery's lifespan has expired. The battery is designed for indoor use and can be operated at temperatures between 0 and 40 °C and relative humidity from 0 to 95 %. Storage is possible at temperatures from -15 to 45 °C and humidity from 0 to 95 %, with a maximum storage altitude of 15,000 m.

Functions and Features in Detail
The battery is designed as a hot-swap battery, meaning it can be replaced during UPS operation without interrupting the power protection. This enables continuous power supply for connected devices. The VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) ensures that the battery does not emit gases and can therefore be safely operated in enclosed spaces. The battery comes with a 2-year return or exchange guarantee, indicating product quality.

Technology Explained Simply
The battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 9 Ah, equivalent to an energy capacity of 108 VAh. These values are typical for UPS systems and ensure sufficient backup time during power failure. The sealed lead-acid technology is maintenance-free, as the electrolyte fluid is retained within the cells and no refilling is required. The battery is designed for use in a closed battery compartment, thereby increasing safety and service life.

Compatibility and Accessories
The RBC17 is specifically developed for use with APC Back-UPS models, particularly models such as the BK650EI. The exact list of compatible UPS models can be retrieved via APC's support platform. The battery is designed as a replacement part and replaces the original battery integrated in the UPS system. It is a single unit that is directly inserted into the battery compartment.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the battery into the battery compartment of the UPS. Due to the hot-swap function, replacement can be carried out during UPS operation without interrupting the power supply to connected devices. The battery is designed to be integrated into the system without additional tools or special mounting aids.

Operational Advantages
Using the original replacement battery RBC17 ensures full UPS performance and prevents reduction of backup time. The maintenance-free design reduces maintenance effort, and the hot-swap function enables seamless battery replacement. The battery complies with RoHS and REACH standards, ensuring environmental compatibility and safety during handling. The black color matches the standard design of APC UPS systems.
