The APC RBC22-RS is an original replacement battery module for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. It serves as a replacement battery for compatible APC UPS models and ensures continuous power supply to connected devices in the event of a power failure. The module is designed as a plug-in module, enabling simple and quick replacement without complex modifications. The battery is housed in a robust black plastic enclosure, meeting requirements for professional use.

Applications
The APC RBC22-RS is designed for use in IT infrastructures, server rooms, network centers, and other critical installations where a power interruption could lead to data loss or operational downtime. The battery is intended for indoor use and can operate in environments with an operating temperature of 0 to 40 °C and relative humidity of 0 to 95 %. Storage is permitted at temperatures from -15 to 45 °C and humidity from 0 to 95 %, with a maximum storage altitude of 15,000 m. The operating altitude is limited to 3,000 m.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The module contains a single sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA technology), designed for high reliability and low maintenance. The battery capacity is 168 VAh, providing sufficient energy supply for the duration of backup power operation in compatible UPS systems. The battery's lifespan is stated as five years, indicating long-term operational capability. The battery is integrated into a metallic housing, providing protection against mechanical impacts and ensuring secure mounting.

Technology Explained Simply
The VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) means the battery is sealed and does not require maintenance such as electrolyte topping up. The valve regulation ensures that gas development during operation is controlled, allowing the battery to be operated safely and maintenance-free. The capacity of 168 VAh measures the amount of energy the battery can store and directly influences the duration of backup power supply. The black color of the housing is functional and fits typical IT infrastructures.

Compatibility and Accessories
The APC RBC22-RS is intended as a replacement module for specific APC UPS models. Compatibility is limited to the respective UPS systems that support the RBC22 module. The battery is designed as a plug-in module, enabling direct installation compatibility with designated UPS devices. The use of replacement modules such as the RBC22-RS is necessary to maintain UPS performance over time, as battery capacity decreases with age.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the module into the designated slot within the UPS device. The plug-in design allows for quick replacement without additional tools. Mounting is typically tool-free, with the exact procedure depending on the specific UPS model. The module dimensions are 216 mm (width), 83 mm (height), and 343 mm (depth), with a total weight of 5 kg. Packaging dimensions are 368 mm (width), 152 mm (height), and 495 mm (depth).

Operational Advantages
The use of the APC RBC22-RS provides reliable and maintenance-free power supply for critical IT systems. The VRLA technology ensures long service life and safe operating conditions. The plug-in design enables quick replacement, increasing the operational readiness of UPS systems. Compliance with the RoHS directive indicates that the battery is manufactured without harmful substances, taking environmental and health aspects into account. The warranty period is one year, providing limited assurance for the module's functionality.
