The APC RBC23-RS is an original replacement battery for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, specifically developed as a replacement for the batteries installed in the device. The product is manufactured by APC and carries the manufacturer's number RBC23-RS. It is a single, sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA technology) designed for use in UPS systems to maintain power supply to connected devices for a short period in the event of a power failure. The battery is black and has a capacity of 336 VAh, enabling energy supply for a specific duration when mains voltage fails. According to the manufacturer, the battery's lifespan is five years under normal operating conditions.

Applications

The APC RBC23-RS is intended as a replacement battery for existing UPS systems, particularly for models compatible with the RBC23 battery. It is used in IT infrastructures, server rooms, network centers, or with critical equipment where a power interruption could lead to data loss or operational downtime. The battery is designed for indoor use, with an operating temperature range of 0 to 45 °C. Optimal storage temperature is between -15 and 45 °C, with relative humidity allowed between 0 and 95 % during both operation and storage. The maximum operating altitude is 3000 meters above sea level, while storage altitude can reach up to 15000 meters.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The battery has a capacity of 336 VAh, enabling energy supply for a certain duration during a power outage. The technology is based on sealed lead-acid (VRLA), suitable for low maintenance and safe use under normal conditions. The battery is designed as a single module, with dimensions of 216 mm (width) × 83 mm (height) × 343 mm (depth). The weight is 10 kg. Packaging dimensions are 368 mm (width) × 152 mm (height) × 495 mm (depth). The battery is designed for use in UPS systems requiring a compatible battery with these specifications.

Technology Explained Simply

The technology used is a sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA), also known as a valve-regulated lead-acid battery. This technology prevents electrolyte leakage and enables maintenance-free operation. The battery stores electrical energy, which is supplied to the connected device in the event of a power failure. The capacity of 336 VAh indicates the amount of energy the battery can store, with actual runtime varying depending on load and system configuration. The five-year lifespan refers to expected usage under normal operating conditions.

Compatibility and Accessories

The APC RBC23-RS is designed as a replacement battery for UPS systems compatible with the RBC23 battery. Compatibility is ensured due to identical technical specifications (capacity, dimensions, technology). The battery is delivered as a single module.

Installation and Mounting

Installation involves replacing the defective or worn-out battery in the UPS system. The battery is designed to be inserted directly into the device, with electrical connections made according to system requirements. Mounting does not require special tools, but the UPS system's power supply should be switched off before replacement to avoid safety risks. Detailed mounting instructions are included in the respective UPS system's manual.

Operational Advantages

The APC RBC23-RS provides reliable power supply during power outages. The VRLA technology ensures safe and maintenance-free operation. The five-year lifespan under normal conditions ensures long-term availability. The battery is designed for indoor use and meets requirements for operating temperature, humidity, and altitude. Compatibility with existing UPS systems allows for easy replacement without changing the system configuration. Compliance with the RoHS directive indicates that the battery is manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner and does not contain harmful substances.
